Why Did The Nativity Story Wise Men Travel So Far - Sermon Series Part 2 of 3

The wise men that followed the star to find Jesus were magi. They practiced astrology, the act of divining the heavens. They used the stars to read signs and omens as well as a number of other sinful practices. <br><br> Why would God provide a star during the time of Jesus' birth if He knew that people would interpret it using astrology? He did so because He knew the wise men would eventually follow it. <br><br> Referenced Verses: <br> 1 Samuel 15:23<br> Deuteronomy 4:19<br> Matthew 2:2<br> Numbers 24:17<br> Matthew 2:1-12<br> Matthew 2:13<br> Hosea 11:1<br> <p> Social Media Ministries is a project created by Spencer Coffman that is committed to spreading the Word of God to every place possible.
