It is vital to God that ALL know of Christ’s birth,
More important than gold, is this baby worth.
We are the ones who spread the news:
Salvation for all, born to the Jews.
We are not Jewish, we come from afar,
You know who we are - we followed the star.
Who are we?

Wise men!
The wise men (or magi) are only found in Matthew’s Gospel. (Matthew 2:1-12) All we are told is that they are “from the East."
They are not from Jewish countries, so the prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah and others about the Messiah (the Saviour) would not be part of their heritage. So it is fitting that there are not angels announcing the news. Other cultures found God in nature; they did not have a personal relationship with God the way the children of Abraham did. So it is also fitting that through nature – the star – God announced to other nations that this child will be Saviour for ALL people.
