Question

Why did the Magi see the star when no one else did?

Answer

I can imagine some of them saying, “Say, the old man’s got kind of old, you know. There’s something wrong with his mind. He’s going around there saying that he’s going to see the Christ. Just think, an old man like that, nearly a hundred years old now, walking around here saying he’s going to see the Christ. And great men has waited for Him for years. Think of that.” But he…the Holy Ghost said so. That’s what made the difference. He wasn’t off in his mind. He was listening to the Holy Spirit. Now, there’s no two Holy Spirits. There’s only one Holy Spirit. Is that right? And the same Holy Spirit then is the same Holy Spirit today. Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Some Magis, astrologers, come over, and stargazers. And they seen the star that passed right over every observatory. Nobody said—seen it at all. The Magis saw it. Why? They were looking for it: the Star of Jacob. According to their prophet, Balaam, he said, “The Star of Jacob would rise.” And they were watching it. And it passed right by the people that was stargazers, and didn’t see it. But they followed the star. I believe they saw a star. What do you think about it? The observatories didn’t see it, but the Magis saw it.
