The Wise Men and Christ’s Birth

An article in our last week's issue clearly showed that December 25 was not the day of our Lord's birth. Still further, while the shepherds greeted Him on the night He came into the world, “the wise men from the East”—the Magi—did not see Him till several weeks later. Jesus was born in a stable; but the wise men found Him in a house. The events of Luke 2:21-24 were probably performed before the wise men came; for immediately after their visit Joseph took the young Child and His mother to Egypt. Disregard for the facts of Scripture inevitably leads to a minimizing of the lessons.
