The Wise Men’s Secret:  

They Knew WHERE TO LOOK

1. FOLLOW the STAR

9 After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were filled with joy!    -Matthew 2:9-10

2. WORSHIP the SAVIOR

They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.    

-Matthew 2:11

3. TELL the WORLD

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!    -John 1:29
