The three Wise Men

We've been thinking about the three Wise Men in our Bible study this morning. One of the things that came up during the discussion was about how their visit to Herod indirectly caused the massacre of the baby boys in Bethlehem, which is something I never considered before. We also discussed that sometimes by trying to be clever and complicated, we miss the obvious and make things more difficult for ourselves. Of course, it has to be said that if there had been three Wise Women, they'd have arrived on time, delivered the baby, brought food and cleaned the stable!
