I wonder have you ever asked the question why did the wise travel over a thousand mile to see the king of the Jews?, After all the land of Israel is ,and was a small nation, it was ruled by Rome, what significance could it have for them to go on such a journey, why go to such trouble?again the king of the Jews would be an underling controlled by Rome,so why? its a question one should ponder.What did it mean when they said we have seen His star?.what star,well somehow God made it all significant to them .Consider what they said,'' and are come to worship him'', and when they did eventually find him they did just that,William Hendriksen ,puts it like this,'they cast themselves to the ground and worshiped him''.Then they offered him special gifts ,gold, frankincense, and myrrh. WH again points out how these gifts were not only lavish but also definitely appropriate; gold,for he was and is a king - yes,''King of Kings and Lord of Lords''- Frankincense,for he is indeed God- the fulness of the Godhead dwells in him- and myrrh, for he is also man, destined for death, and this by his own choice'.
'And He will be called Wonderful , Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9 v 6
