Christ Begins for All Nations
God worked through a special star to bring the magi into the presence of their Savior—for Christ’s glory and the magi’s blessing. Likewise, God has controlled time and space to bring you into the presence of your Savior—for Christ’s glory and your blessing. Thus, the magi were only the first in a long line of Gentiles who would join Israel in worshiping Jesus as King.

From Series: "Christ Begins"
The Gospels tell only a little about Jesus’ life as an infant. For most of Jesus’ adult life, he lived quietly in Galilee. Jesus had no followers. Jesus was not famous. But at the exact time God had appointed, Jesus left that obscurity behind. Now we watch Jesus begin his public ministry. As Jesus begins his ministry, it quickly becomes clear that this is more than a random carpenter’s son. As Christ begins, we see exactly who he is and what he came to do.
