DCLM Higher Everyday 25 December 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The Three Wise Worshippers
Topic: The Three Wise Worshippers
Text: Matthew 2:1-12
1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
3When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Key Verse: “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:11).
Message
The story of the Three Wise Men (portrayed as scholars or astrologers), is a crucial element in the Christian narrative, prominently celebrated during Epiphany. They came from the East to Jerusalem to seek Jesus whom they had seen His star. The story emphasizes the Magi’s journey to worship the new-born King, as well as the symbolic importance of their gifts, which acknowledge Jesus as a king, priest, and one destined for a sacrificial death. These gifts represent a global acceptance of Jesus as the divine King and Saviour. The story unfolds as a tale of faith, guidance, and worship.

Key lessons from our passage include: Seeking God’s guidance, acknowledging God’s sovereignty, relying on divine guidance in our journeys, cultivating a heart of worship and generosity, and practising discernment and obedience to God’s guidance. Inspired by the Three Wise Worshippers, let us embark on our faith journey with sincerity, worship God wholeheartedly, and trust in His guidance and protection. May we, like the Magi, encounter Jesus in our lives and respond with lives devoted to His glory.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
