Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger, pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
In the advent story there are probably no more mysterious characters than the wise men. We don’t know exactly who they were or where they came from. About the only thing we do know is what they came to do—they came to worship a child as King. As enigmatic as these characters are, they have a lot to tell us about faith and spiritual endurance.
They displayed faith in that they had the evidence of the star to guide them, but no teachings or special signs from Jesus himself, yet they worshiped him. Their endurance was great in that they traveled a long way taking a long time and overcoming many hardships to reach the child. It was not easy to travel across the desert and national borders in their day. Yet none of that turned them away. I have far more evidence for faith than the wise men—what am I willing to endure to worship my King?
