About the men of the East who came to pay homage to the newly born King; the narrative opens our blurred vision, and makes us see how God can bring people to his son from jurisdictions never before imagined.
Many times those who are nearest to the means, are furthest from the end. Mat 8:11, Mat 8:12. The respect paid to Christ by these Gentiles was a happy presage and specimen of what would follow when those who were afar off should be made nigh by Christ.

It should be noted by a keen observer that they were scholars of great repute. and they dealt in arts, curious arts; good scholars should be good Christians, not the other way round, for it's very vivid - "we see many opposed to Christ." And, thus, many have lost track, missed their spiritual steps as they chased after scholarly themed hypothesis that dragged them away from the source of life.
Is it not the right time to draw closer to the source of life? With diverse problems gripping humanity; of truth scores are yearning for emancipation, and this can only be found in Christ. He still saves, heals, and binds the broken-hearted, giving deliverance to them that are oppressed daily. He is the author of life, and it is him that completes our faith. In him we derive strength, and aren't forsaken, neither shall he fail to watch over us!
