For your little disciple: Just like the game, the wise men had to take a long journey, following a bright star to find baby Jesus after He was born. Matthew 2:9-11 says, “It led them until it came and stopped above the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed beyond measure. Entering the house, they saw the child with Mary His mother, and falling to their knees, they worshiped Him”. The bright star led the wise men all the way to Jesus! They were dedicated and willing to trust God to guide them. When we trust God, He will guide us to Jesus.

We aren’t exactly sure how long it took the wise men to get to Jesus, but scholars speculate that it was either lining up with 12 days after His birth or some time around His second birthday. In many translations the Bible mentions that the Wise Men entered “the house” (Matthew 2:11), suggesting that the little family was no longer in the stable where Jesus was born.
