Toen ze het huis binnengingen, zagen ze het kindje Jezus met Maria, Zijn moeder, en ze vielen neer en aanbaden Hem. En toen ze hun schatten hadden geopend, brachten ze Hem geschenken: goud, wierook en mirre.
Matte\u00fcs 2:11<\/strong>
<\/em><\/p>

Het tweede hoofdstuk van Matthe\u00fcs begint met de volgende mededeling:, \u201cNadat Jezus in Bethlehem in Judea geboren was, in de tijd van koning Herodes, kwamen er wijzen uit het oosten naar Jeruzalem en zeiden: \u2018Waar is Hij die geboren is als Koning der Joden? Wij hebben namelijk Zijn ster in het oosten gezien en zijn gekomen om Hem te aanbidden.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Merk op dat ons niet verteld wordt hoeveel wijzen er kwamen. Velen hebben aangenomen dat het er drie waren vanwege de drie geschenken \u2013 goud, wierook en mirre (Matte\u00fcs 2:11) \u2013 maar de Bijbel specificeert hun aantal niet. We weten niet hoe ze heetten, hoe ze reisden of zelfs uit welke landen ze precies kwamen. Wat ons wel verteld wordt, is dat het wijzen waren. Het Griekse woord dat in Matte\u00fcs 2:1, 7 en 16 gebruikt wordt, is magi\u00ebrs<\/em> (meervoud magi\u00ebrs<\/em>).<\/p>

Ze zagen \u201cZijn ster\u201d<\/em> en kwamen Hem aanbidden \u2013 niet in een stal, maar in een huis. Dit wijst erop dat het bezoek enige tijd na de geboorte van de Heer Jezus plaatsvond. Sommigen suggereren dat dit enkele maanden tot wel twee jaar later kan zijn geweest.<\/p>

Maar welke ster zagen ze, en hoe kenden ze de betekenis ervan? Hoogstwaarschijnlijk waren de wijzen bekend met de geschriften van de profeet Dani\u00ebl, die eerder de leider van de wijzen in Perzi\u00eb was geweest. Dani\u00ebl 9:24-27 bevat een profetie die een tijdlijn geeft met betrekking tot de komst van de Messias. Daarnaast kenden de wijzen mogelijk ook de profetie over Bileam \u2013 die afkomstig was uit Pethor, vlakbij de rivier de Eufraat, in de buurt van Perzi\u00eb \u2013 in Numeri 24:17, die spreekt over... \u201cEen ster die uit Jacob voortkomt.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Deze wijzen waren mannen die Gods Woord lazen en geloofden. Ze zochten de Heer Jezus en erkenden Zijn waarde. Ze vernederden zichzelf om Hem te aanbidden en brachten geschenken mee die een koning waardig waren.<\/p>

In vers 7-8 lezen we over Herodes' misleiding, toen hij de wijzen onderwees., \u201cGa heen en zoek zorgvuldig naar het jonge Kind, en wanneer je Hem gevonden hebt, laat het mij dan weten, zodat ik ook kan komen om Hem te aanbidden.\u201d<\/em> In vers 12 zien we echter dat de wijzen God meer gehoorzaamden dan mensen. Het waren werkelijk wijze mannen.<\/p>

In deze tijd van het jaar is het gemakkelijk om de ware reden waarom Christus naar de wereld kwam uit het oog te verliezen. We kunnen druk en afgeleid raken door allerlei dingen. Maar deze wijzen lieten zich niet afleiden van het doel van hun reis. Ze kwamen, ze vielen neer en ze aanbaden Hem. Mogen wij hetzelfde doen in ons hart.<\/p>

Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong>
Heer Jezus, wij beminnen U en brengen vol vreugde onze zegeningen uit.<\/em>
De lofzangen van aanbiddende harten aan Uw voeten;<\/em>
Heer Jezus, wij hebben U lief; wij beminnen en aanbidden U.<\/em>
De naam die voor God en voor ons zo lief is.
