Wise men - a Christian perspective
The wise men--or Magi--did more for Jesus than just bring him gifts. When they entered the city they asked Herod where the new king was. Herod became scared that someone was coming to usurp him. He told the wise men to return and tell him where the boy was after they had found him. The wise men went and found Jesus, but did not tell Herod because they had been warned against him in a dream.
