Who is the Christ?
We naturally assume from "the (three) wise men" that Jesus kind of blew onto the scene, made a big splash, and was known to many. This becomes reinforced in following His ministry, but see how Peter was the only one that named Him the Christ (and even then, misunderstood His mission). Christ was not revealed then as He is now, and assuming He was famous when He was not will lead you to other misunderstandings. The whole progression illuminates a believer's walk, and the end of the path is the Kingdom. You already know where it is.

"This is incorrect" might mean I missed a capitalization? It has no meaning. We picture Christ here as already being a rock star--famous to everyone as the Christ, when He was not. See His Disciple's answers to the query, "Who do people, you, say I am?" (Some say John, some say Elijah, we have our own...bad guess. Lol) |

My meaning there is only that the truth for a 3 year old is not the same truth that will answer a 20 year old. You are right that truth is truth, but the whole truth would prolly kill us in our present state. We do not have the whole truth about anything yet, surely. |
