Can we match the spiritual diligence of the Wise Men in this season?
The conduct of the wise men is a splendid example of spiritual diligence. How many weary miles they must have journeyed!
The fatigues of an Eastern traveler are far greater than what we can understand.
They had set their hearts on seeing Him ‘who was born King of the Jews’ and they never rested until they saw Him.
They prove to us the truth of the old saying, ‘Where there is a will there is a way.’
It would be well for all professing Christians if they were more ready to follow the wise men’s example.
Where is our self-denial? What pains do we take about our souls?
What diligence do we show about following Christ?
What does our religion cost us?
These are serious questions. They deserve serious consideration.
