The Fourth Wiseman never got to see Jesus
I saw this humorous farside post on another blog.
Unknown to most theologians, there was a fourth wiseman. He was sent away for bringing a fruitcake.
Speaking of the fourth wiseman, one of my favorite Christmas movies is "The Fourth Wiseman" starring Martin Sheen. Sheen plays Artaban, a young Magus (Wise Man) who desires to follow the star to the birthplace of the coming King, against the counsel of his friends and family. Carrying three precious jewels to give to the baby Messiah, Artaban and his reluctant servant Orontes set off to join the caravan of the three other wise men. They miss the caravan, but Artaban continues the search for his King, always one step behind. Artaban spends much of his remaining wealth and all of his energy helping the poor and unfortunate people he meets, until at the end of his life he finally finds Jesus--at His trial! Has Artaban wasted his life in a foolish quest? Will he ever get the chance to present his gifts to the King?
If you can find it, The fourth wiseman is a great way to be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.

A Picture of Hope
What should the church look like? Something close to this. An incredible film that might require a little bit of Kleenex.

The Importance of Original Languages
As we work to understand God's Word, the original languages (Greek & Hebrew) help us to brush away the modern interpreters bias (and unfortunately add our own). Translations are important but an understanding of the Biblical languages is invaluable.
To help us in our study cal.vini.st is giving away a gift in celebration of their first anniversary. They are giving subscribers to their blog a chance to win BibleWorks 8. This is a major gift - Thanks Cal.vini.st! You can check out the contest at http://cal.vini.st/2009/06/cal-vini-st-first-anniversary-giveaway/
