Gospel Note
Why are they called "wise?" The wise men were more than men who studied the stars. History has called them wise men because they made a quest for God. Today, people are wise if they seek God in Christ. The foolish seek other gods Ä power, prestige, possessions. In addition, wise men follow guidance. They saw a result of humble acceptance of guidance, they reached the Christ-child, wise men then and now worship the King.
