Once Herod learned about the birth of Jesus, he told the Magi to come back to his palace to let him know the exact location of the baby so that he, too, could go to worship him. As we know, this was a trick as Herod intended to kill the infant Jesus. Because they were warned in a dream, once the Magi encountered Jesus, they went home by a different route. Let this be an example to us. Once we have encountered the Christ we, too, must follow a different route. A route that is different than the world; the only route that leads us to eternal rest.
Adults: How willing are you to take the route that is different from the world so that you can be led to everlasting life with Christ?
Children: What can you do this new year to follow the road to Jesus?
