Description
'Biblical wisdom conjoins what is inconceivable... it combines what is kingly with what is sacrificial, and what is sacrificial with what is humble. With the authority of the King of Kings, we're to rule over all of our own passions... and our embodiment for God's service is always to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. And who expresses more humility than the God who is born of a peasant woman in a manger's crib?' In this chapel message from Matthew 2.1-23, James Houston considers what the gifts of the Magi have to teach us about true Biblical wisdom.
