David & Cyril Tagteam - The Wise Men - Matthew 2

“This shows the true point that Jesus is now proclaimed amongst the nations as predicted as the one and the only true king. See, we see Ethiopia and it's acknowledging Jesus. China has the Christ seed deeply planted within its core, and right now it's changing from the inside out because of the seed of Christ. … We're the insiders. We're part of a culture that's been fed on the story of the wise men for millennia. But I have a question. Are we wise men? Are we wise women? Are we people characterized by our devotion or adoration of the Christ child for real? Is that what we look like when people see us? Do we let out our merry Christmas in a way that lets people see that it's Christ to whom we bow on this holiday? And is our Christ mass? Is it actually a celebration of the incarnation of Jesus Christ? Or is it the incarnation of greed? Do the nations, when they look at our celebration, do they see it as a proclamation of the gospel of peace? Or do they look at us and do they see it as a time of luxurious, over-expenditure and indenture to our credit card companies? Yes, our treasures need to come out at Christmas, just like the wise men.”
