What Wisemen Know — Matt. 2.1-12
In our culture to be wise means “book learning.” Wisdom in the culture of the Scriptures means put into practice a grasp of the eternal — the ultimate truths of God.
Wisemen know at least seven things:
• Wisemen know how to be patient.
• Wisemen are persistent.
• Wisemen look for providence.
• Wisemen practice worship.
• Wisemen place value on the joy of giving.
• Wisemen possess the spirit of Christmas.
• Wisemen perceive the point of Christmas.
The Christian has wisdom to know and understand:
• Jesus is the ultimate truth of God.
• Christmas means to worship the Savior.
• Right now, say “yes” to Jesus’ claim on your life.
What do you need in your life in order to be wise with God?
