Encounters with Jesus: the MAGI

Encounters with Jesus: the MAGI by ric Gustafson


The word magi comes from the ancient Persian. The Persians believed in astrologers and priests. The magi's were a caste of priests who practiced Zurvanism. Only the book of Matthew mentions the magi. According to Matthew, wise men from the East observed the Star of Bethlehem. This led them to Bethlehem. They honored Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Before they left, God spoke to them in a dream and warned them not to return to Herod. These wise men went back home a different way. God told Joseph to flee with Mary and their son to Egypt until Herod died.
