📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Matthew 2: 1-12
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men[a] from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose[b] and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
6 “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” 9 After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome to the morning mindset edition of Live Bill Change. |
| 0:09.1 | This is an opportunity for you and for me to set aside four to five minutes here every morning to get our minds right to stop |
| 0:17.1 | thinking according to sinful patterns or fears or doubts but to intentionally put our minds on the things that God |
| 0:26.0 | says about the world and about us. We've been doing that most recently here in the |
| 0:30.4 | Christmas season by looking at the Christmas story and today I want to look |
| 0:34.6 | at Matthew chapter 2 and consider these individuals we call the wise men or you may have |
| 0:40.4 | heard in the song the Three Kings, there's no indication in the passage |
| 0:45.2 | that these were really Kings. |
| 0:47.3 | And there's no indication that there was even three of them. |
| 0:50.5 | That's all just tradition stuff. |
| 0:51.9 | If you read the passage carefully, which I'm about to do, |
| 0:54.5 | you can see these are just referred to as wise men or magi, |
| 0:58.2 | which means wise men. |
| 0:59.4 | They were men who studied. |
| 1:01.2 | Okay, so let's read it in Matthew chapter 2. |
| 1:03.7 | Says, now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, |
| 1:08.8 | behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. And said where is he that is born king of the Jews |
| 1:16.2 | for we have seen his star in the east and have come to worship him. |
| 1:20.4 | When he heard the king heard these things, he was troubled and all Jerusalem |
| 1:26.4 | with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people |
| 1:30.8 | together, he demanded of them where the Christ should be born. |
| 1:35.6 | And they said to him, in Bethlehem, Judea, for this is written by the Prophet. |
