We Are All Searching - VOX Community Podcast Dec. 17 2017 - a podcast by VOX Community Podcast

Karrie looks at Matthew, Chapter 2, and teaches about the magi - the wise men - some of the most well-known and misunderstood biblical figures. Each of the gospels tells the story of Jesus’ birth, but Matthew paints a different picture: he takes us to the underbelly of the Far East and the political and cultural undercurrents of the time. The magi weren’t wise men as we see them today. The audience for whom the text was written understood the magi were modern-day idolaters, astrologers, fortune tellers, pagans. How incredible that from the moment Jesus drew his first breath, he was already revealing himself to lowlifes, misfits and outcasts – those who are hungry to be saved. These men had searched their whole lives for the truth, looking at stars and dreams and ancient texts, but something happened when Jesus was born that transformed their hearts. When they finally found Jesus, they fell to their knees in worship. That’s when their search ended and their journey began. From the moment Jesus was sent, God was pursuing those who are hungry to be saved. It’s the lowly that are called, the outskirts that are reached, and the searchers that will be found.
