Subject: Jesus' birth |
Bible Note: Greetings Seedling! Every indication is that they came much later than the time of His birth. Unfortunately, many manger scenes portray them as at the manger. :-) The indicators include: 1) Jesus is called a 'child' not an infant. 2) Herod's order to kill every male child two and under. He may have expanded the time somewhat, but most don't believe that he would have expanded it by two full years. 3) The magi are said to have been led to the 'house' where He was, not the manger. I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
