MenuThe story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.
Paper 122:8.5-7
The Urantia Book
When Jesus was born, some majestic travelers arrived in Jerusalem searching for a child who had been born among the Jewish people. The three wise men were told to go to the city of Bethlehem. So they went and found the child of their long quest. Matthew’s gospel says, “On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”
Discussion Questions
Think about the long journey of the wise men. Why did they decide to search for the child? How do you think they felt when they finally found him? We can remember that Jesus said, “Seek and you shall find.”
131:1.5 … We search for the Most High and then find him in our hearts. You go in quest of a dear friend, and then you discover him within your soul.
He who hath found God in his heart
Is happy in mind and body. (Sikhism)
That illustrious Being, though dwelling in the heart,
Cannot be seen by the eye.
He who knows Him, becomes wise and full of joy. (Hinduism)
