Teaching: Does the Bible say the Magi (wise men) followed a Christmas Star to Bethlehem? Who were they?

So tell me, how DID your Christmas go??

(If you wrote a blog post about it, please link it in the comment section. I’d love to pop over and read it!)

If you would like to read more about the birth of Christ, the real story, this would be a good place to start.

Luke 2: 8-14 (King James Version)

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

It doesn’t seem possible, I mean, it honestly blows my mind, that our children used to be this little.
