The wise kings, scholars of astronomy and philosophy, were captivated by an extraordinary star. God surprised them with a cosmic revelation, guiding them across deserts and mountains to the tiny town of Bethlehem. The humble surroundings of a stable became the stage for their encounter with the King of Kings. The gifts they presented symbolized acknowledgment of Jesus' royalty, divinity, and eventual sacrifice.These gifts according to experts today are worth millions of dollars to ensure that Jesus and his family would have all they need and wish for their whole life and to finance The Messiahs mission by taking care of first the twelve desciples and their families and then the seventy or the seventy two and their families.God in his richness and extreme generosity would never send a lacking savior to the world who struggled to in life with his family.God's providence from the very start is the evidence of his wisdom ,goodness and perfect care
towards his own son
and all his creation.
As a Christian billionaire, commissioned a team of historians to research the magi and the gifts which they brought to Jesus when he was born. Their conclusion was that over 300 kings came bearing gifts for Jesus with a calculated wealth of over $4 million by today’s standards. He said that Persian documents showed that the gift was escorted by an army, and that the reference in Matthew chapter two regarding Herod and the people being troubled was because they supposedly thought it was an invading army.The Lord not only wants to meet our needs but to give us net-breaking, boat-sinking increase so that we have more than enough to fulfill what He has called us to do.
