The Wise Men and the Star. Matthew 2:9-11The wise men’s unexpected sign—the star guided them again. Apparently the wise men did not expect the supernatural sign to appear again Matthew 2:10. They had searched faithfully and done all they could, and they were continuing on. God honors such effort. He met their need Isaiah 64:5. But note: only the wise men went to search out the newborn King. And imagine—Bethlehem was only six miles south of Jerusalem!God will meet the need of any man who faithfully searches and does all he can, the man who continues on and refuses to quit. Yet how few search Him out today.the wise men’s unexpected King—a humble child in humble surroundings. They found the child King in a house. No doubt the wise men had expected the child to be the son of a reigning monarch with all the splendor, wealth, and royalty attached. They had expected Him to be known by all. How unlike what they found—a child with common parents in a humble house!
