Matthew 2 (King James Version)
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
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
Matthew 2 (King James Version)
Wise men saw the star in the east and started their journey
But when they came to a certain point of their journey, seems like they didnt follow the direction/path where the star was leading
The star would have not definitely stopped at the Herod's palace, but stood at the place where Jesus was born
Instead they used their own knowledge, thinking that King will be born in a Palace & enquired with King Herod
When they came to know that King was not born in Herod's Palace they again followed the star until it stood at the place where Jesus was born
The Result was, Herod slew all the children in Bethlehem from two years old and under
Had they followed the path of the STAR many lives would have not been lost
Lesson from the Wise Men: In Christian life at some point or the other we tend to use our wisdom, thereby costing lives of others
BTW, Who is the STAR in your life?
