Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

What is ironic about this is when Herod gathered all the smart people to ask where Christ is, he said he wants to worship him too. I would be kinda suspicious of Herod if I was one of those guys.
Merry Christmas Eve! And yes PL, I will pray for your problem, whatever it may be.
Hey guys....I'm doing these devos on my new itouch!!! And I have Internet and YouTube and alll that good stuff.. We had christmas a day early at my dads today..

Ne way this pasage is about how Herod sent his people out looking for god... But they didn't fi d gem
this is what we talked about Sunday in the early service. ya like what Michael said, it would sound a little suspicious if the most powerful person in Egypt told his wise men to find the child so he could worship him (but what he really wanted to do was kill him) and it was smart on the wise men's part to leave town and not tell Herod.
MERRY CHIRSTMAS EVE!!!!!!!!!!! AND I HO HO HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!
