Now that we're in the Advent or Christmas season, we're going to take a look at Matthew's Gospel talking about the events that took place after Jesus's birth. It's interesting that in our culture we have a number of traditions. Some of those traditions aren't exactly what the Scriptures say, so we're going to take a look at that. But what I'm going to more take a look at is the importance not of what the tradition is right or wrong, but the most important aspect of that narrative that Matthew talks about, how these magi, these wise men, come see Jesus and why. Come and listen.
