The Magi Searched For The Messiah

The Visit of the Wise Men

Some time after the birth of Jesus, a group of rather important-looking men arrived in Jerusalem and began asking questions.  They were men who studied the stars and their meanings, and were known as astrologers, or sometime as “magi”, or just “wise men”.

Jesus Christ Was Cruficified

Jesus is tried and crucified

Jesus was taken that night at the house of Caiaphas, the High Priest, where all the lawyers and elders had gathered together.  They did their best to find some false evidence against Jesus so that they could have Him put to death; but they were unable to find any, even though many of the “witnesses” did not tell the truth at all, but made thing up and twisted the facts of real events.

Jesus At The Garden Of Gethsemane

The Garden of Gethsemane

Now Judas was the treasurer of little band of Jesus’ disciples and therefore had charge of the money.  He had not always been honest and had at times helped himself from the money bag.  Yet for nearly three years he had been among the group of Jesus’ closest followers, listening to Him, watching His wonderful deeds, and learning from Him.  It was sad that he did not live up to Jesus’ hopes for him when He first called him to be a disciple.

Some time before the Last Supper, Judas had gone to the chief priests and had asked, “How much will you give me if I betray Jesus to you?”

From that time Judas kept on the lookout for an opportunity to betray his master.  The chief priests and elders wanted Jesus arrested secretly, for they feared that if they took Him openly, there would be a riot among the people.

Here Jesus said to eight of the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.”  Then He took Peter, James and John on the little further.  To these three He said, “Wait here and keep watch with Me, for the sorrow in My heart is very great.”

He Himself went on a short distance and threw Himself face down on the ground and prayed to God, “Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering away from me; nevertheless, let not what I wish happen here, but what You wish.”  And God sent Him the strength to go through with what was to happen.

Then He got up and went back to the three disciples, and found that they had fallen asleep, for they were tired and worn out by grief and worry, Jesus said to Peter, “Weren’t

The Boy Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ As A boy

 

Jesus was to live in Nazareth until He was about thirty years old, and this is why, although He was born in Bethlehem, He is often known as Jesus of Nazareth.  The Bible tells us that He “increased in wisdom and stature; and in favor with God and man.”  In other words, He grew not only in height but also in wisdom, knowledge and learning with God’s blessing; the people loved him and respected Him.
