The Narrative of the Wisemen (4 of 5)
The Characters of Christmas
Donald Cantrell
Matthew 2:1-12
In these five Character Studies we will do a first person characterization of how it might have been with Joseph, Mary, the Shepherds, the Wisemen, and lastly Jesus. You can use these to characterizations to help your church go back to that first Christmas setting and grasp the emotions and the enormity of that sacred time in history. These five characterizations would be very useful if you dressed up or allowed someone else to dress up and have the moment narrated before your audience, letting them sense the emotions of the moment firsthand.

Num 24:17 KJV - I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
Thor had called all of the kings to come together; he was expecting to see this star occur in the heavens. It seems that one night while he was studying the J ...
