Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • Foreigners from far away come to worship Jesus. What does that say about who Jesus came for?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • They travel for months; the king in Jerusalem does not walk five miles. What makes the difference?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one thing you will give up this week to make time for God?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could you invite to come and see who Jesus is?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, these men travelled a very long way to worship a little child. Thank you that you can be found by anybody who looks. Help me not be too busy to come to you.
