Matthew 2:1-12 CSB
1. WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR GOD, YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND JESUS.
John MacArthur (The Gospel According to Matthew, p.27)
“Because of their combined knowledge of science, agriculture, mathematics, history, and the occult, they became the most prominent and powerful group of advisors in the Medo-Persian and subsequently the Babylonian empire. Historians tell us that no Persian was ever able to become king without mastering the scientific and religious disciplines of the magi and then being approved and crowned by them.”
