The Wise Men

"The same sky was stretched across the whole of the earth and all of the people in it who glanced up at this sky saw that bright light hovering over some blessed town.

"The same sky was stretched across the whole of the earth and all of the people in it who glanced up at this sky saw that bright light hovering over some blessed town. Across the mountains to the east down through the fertile valleys banking the Nile to the south to the palaces across the sands that would meet the Arabian Sea, all these places were blanketed with a starry sky that marked the coming of a great man. Be he a king or a scholar or an unequalled religious teacher-perhaps all of these things-his arrival was noted and some knew the meaning of this light as the sign that prophecy named it." The arrival of a strange light in the skies above Jerusalem marks a life altering moment for all of the world, but to Jedediah, a Jewish servant of the Roman magus Master Melchior, it means a great quest that will change more than just his life. Within the walls of Jerusalem, King Herod meets magi from across the world who have travelled in search of the King of the Jews. Each search for their own purposes but for the same man, the King of Kings destined to bring peace to his people-the people of the world. Jedediah searches with a heavy heart and a hovering shame -using a star as his guide which he has seen both in the sky and his dreams. Riding alongside him is his sin, but in front of him lies forgiveness and eternal peace. All he need do is grasp it.
