The 3 Wise Women: A Christmas Reflection

A willing heart, a hearing heart, and a faithful heart.

The Three Wise Men, though mentioned only briefly in the Gospel of Matthew, are well-known characters in the Christmas story.  But we know very little about them-not even their names, or if in fact there were three of them.

But the Scriptures do teach us for certain about three wise women-Mary, mother of Jesus; Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist; and Anna, a prophetess who proclaimed the good news of Jesus' birth.

Each woman played an important role in the Christmas story.  They didn't give Jesus gift of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, as the wise men did.  But they did offer Him their most precious possessions: their hearts.
