More From Max Lucado

Magic is that which it is; it is by itself, like the mathematics; for it is the exact and absolute science of nature and its laws . magic is the science of the ancient magi: and the christian religion, which has imposed silence on the lying oracles, and put an end to the prestiges of the false gods , itself reveres those magi who came from the east, guided by a star , to adore the saviour of the world in his cradle.

To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).
Jesus Character Mean
Matthew loved the magi. he gave their story more square inches of text than he gave the narrative of the birth of jesus. he never mentions the shepherds or the manger, but he didn't want us to miss the star and the seekers. it's easy to see why. their story is our story.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.
Ideas Mind Addresses
On coming to the house, they (the magi), saw the child with his mother mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. (matthew 2:11) [this] adoration, too, was not the same as the worship of god. in my opinion they did not yet recognize him as god, but they acted in keeping with the custom mentioned in scripture, according to which kings and important people were worshiped; this did not mean more than falling down before them at their feet and honoring them.

The bible is the story of two gardens: eden and gethsemane. in the first, adam took a fall. in the second, jesus took a stand. in the first, god sought adam. in the second, jesus sought god. in eden, adam hid from god. in gethsemane, jesus emerged from the tomb. in eden, satan led adam to a tree that led to his death. from gethsemane, jesus went to a tree that led to our life.
