The wisemen, or magi as they are more properly known, don&#39;t get enough attention in my opinion. Here are 3 reasons we should all spend a bit more time contemplating this short appendix to the Christmas story.

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/12/19/13/02e4d8d8-2a15-4c54-9dae-2d2f8f0c33a9_episode_9_sketchy_christmas_songs_version2.mp3

So much of our culture is built upon this promise: &#34;You can feel Joy all the time, whenever you want&#34;--as long as by Joy you mean &#34;a vague feeling of pleasure produced by buying our product or spending your time on our website/app.&#34; How might the biblical conception of Joy confront this false promise?
