If God exists, why doesn’t he show himself? I believe that this well-known question already contains the answer the way it is asked.

2030 years ago, a group of highly educated truth seekers of the old Orient recognized a strange star formation: Jupiter, the “king star”, and Saturn, the “star of the Jews”, met. In this phenomenon, which in the eyes of most rational scientists, these men recognize a clear sign from God: In Israel the Messiah, the king and God of the Jews, has been born.

In fact, they are so sure of this that they immediately set out on a long journey to meet this God and King – and it pays off.

Whether we recognize God often depends on whether we perceive his indications as such. The assumption that God would not show himself to us is already preceded by the belief that it would never happen – and this assumption can block our view of God.

Could it be that God showed himself to you the other day, but you only interpreted this as a random phenomenon?

“Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him”

Matthew 2:2
