This Christmas series, O Come, Let Us Adore Him, looks at prophetic songs of worship and adoration of Christ in the Old Testament, and songs and prayers sung in the wake of the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies in the New Testament.
When a group of foreign stargazers arrive in Jerusalem seeking the new king of the Jews, King Herod and his advisers realize they’ve missed a monumental moment in their nation’s history. But through the prophecy of Micah, the wise men are directed to Bethlehem, where they offer gifts to Jesus in worship.
It took a group of non-Jewish stargazers, moved with wonder and a desire to worship, to inform the religious experts of a monumental event that had happened right under their noses!
