I was having coffee at the Senior Center yesterday when my table got into a serious Bible discussion like yours, Brother Larry. A silver-haired lady who is a little too smart for her own good asked me this, "If Jesus is the Son of God, why did God send those wise men with gifts when God could provide anything Jesus wanted? Seems like a waste."
I explained to her God sent the wise men for what today we call "public relations." God wanted rich people to be seen as nice and helpful. Rich people need to be seen tossing some coins here and bringing gifts there (accurately recorded in the Bible) so the poor don't get mad and revolt.
Today we rich True Christians™ are doing well because God made certain we looked good. Glory be to Him.
