Summary
You have all heard of the three wise men who followed the shining star over Bethlehem to honor the new born king- but did you ever hear the story of the fourth wise man? In part one, a wise Magi believes the heavens have aligned in a manner that is foretelling the coming of a new king of the Jews who will bring peace to the land- and he sells his home and leaves on a journey to honor the new king, planning to meet up with the other three Magi who have invited him to join them.
