The shepherds in Luke 2 were the first visitors to gaze upon the Savior, but they weren’t the only ones. The Bible also tells of the visit magi made to the young Jesus.
When the men from the east saw a bright star in the night sky, they followed it to Bethlehem, where they brought gifts and rejoiced at the birth of Jesus. This would have taken place sometime within the first two years of his birth and signified the arrival of the King of the Jews.
God announced the birth to the lowly within the Jewish people—the shepherds—and then he included the high ranking officials from the east who were not included in God’s chosen people. Quite a contrast but rather indicative of who Christ came for: all people, even the ones not deemed respectable and those who were not Jews.
We celebrate the coming of Jesus for all men and women!
