               in danger of being fed by wolves and that is waiting for the

               voice of the shepherd, so it highlighted such fact by making
               the shepherds be the first witness.


               It says in Matthew 2 that the Magi of the Gentiles saw the
               sign of the star that the king was born, and they came

               from a few hundred kilometers along the star and bowed
               down and worshiped the child Jesus, then they opened their
               treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and incense
               and myrrh. This meant that it caused the Gentiles to become

               is the mediator of those who come to God. Myrrh was a sign
               for the burial of Jesus who came to suffer and to die for the

               redemption of sin. It means that it caused the Gentiles also
               to offer gifts as the sign to receive the Messiah who has come
               as the Savior.
                    Of course, it was not that the Magi acted after they

               had known the deep spiritual will of God. God caused them,
