And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. But let's travel these trails again and see the magi adore the Jewish Messiah. You know the well-worn lines from Matthew 2:10-11. Pagan astrologers prostrate in adoration are a stunning emblem announcing that all sinners may come.

Don't miss the message of the magi: If such sinners as these can approach the Christ and fall down in worship, so may all. Even from the priestly class of pagan religion. Even here at Jesus' birth, he is making wizards into worshipers worldwide. They are star-gazing, pagan astrologers, watching for who-knows-what in the skies, rather than the Scriptures, and God in his grace comes to them through the very channel of their sin. To call them "three kings" is overstated. We need look no further than the magi of Matthew 2 for our model of the "faithful". Rather, they bowed their back, and it was the dirty pagans who streamed in to adore him. At Jesus' own birth, it wasn't the squeaky-clean, religious elites of biblical faith who bowed the knee in worship. But beware your standard of who can come in worship.

It is not first about witness, but about worship. (Matthew 2:10-11)Christmas is not just about acknowledging Jesus, but adoring him. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him.
