Now that I am revisiting the scripture accounts of the birth of Christ I realize that I had forgotten that only two of the gospels, Matthew and Luke, even speak of the birth!
Even more interesting is the fact that only Matthew mentions the journey of the Wise Men!?
I'll be doing a little searching on the net to see if there are any resources with additional information about the legendary 'Wise Men'. I am aware of a movie (which I watched several years ago) entitled "The Fourth Wise Man" which I recall as being very moving in it's premise that there was a fourth man who also made the journey to find the Christ Child. Unlike the three wise men, his journey was one of many years but he refused to give up his quest. That's about the extent of my memory but it seems to 'fit the bill' as encouragement for the journey I have undertaken.
