DAY TwentyWhat is it that makes these magi truly wise men? They certainly held
special knowledge that was highly esteemed in the homeland. What
makes them truly wise is that they did not let any inconvenience,
obstacle or hardship keep them from seeking the One born King.
And once they nd Him, having been warned in a dream to avoid
Herod, they travel a di erent road home. We all, a er nding the
Christ, go a di erent road.
Remember: Wise men s ll seek Him!
