There are a number of priestly actions that all Christians are welcomed by God, through Jesus, engage in. These were forbidden in by-gone days but now open to, and even the responsibility of all Christians to do.
We are made in the image of a zealous God. He gave us a gospel to fits our needs and that many of us get excited about. Why doesn't that zeal always persist and why does it wane? What are the things Satan does, and we do within ourselves that kill our zeal?
What do we know of these mysterious men who unexpectedly drop into the beginning of the gospel story? Why were they looking for the newborn king while the locals were not? What else can we learn from them?
There are a very few people that the scriptures tell us that there were none like them. We look at these few edge cases to see what we can learn, and see the repeated testimony that there are none like our God and the Lord Jesus.
