The story of the fourth magi about Artaban is neither true or fact is not necessary here, but the beautiful story is most appreciated when it comes to reflect on the story of a man perceived to be the fourth king or magi in the nativity of our Lord or in the solemnity of the Epiphany. If your have read about the story of artabn, I recommend for you to click here.
The fascinating story of Artaban can be called true or fiction but I have not researched of it , but as I say this story is truly inspiring and fully of spiritual gain if you really reflect on it. It is spiritually inspiring for throughout their journey, because he was a man socially oriented missed the caravan to embark on a journey to seek Jesus and his story and his story of searching Jesus for about 33 years end up climaxing in the crucifixion. The tirelessly searching for Jesus is the focus here, even though the man lost in the caravan, he went not to postpone his trip and the truly inspiring moment is that without delay he went to pursue the journey against all odds. Along the path of the journey for 33 years he encountered so many experiences the made him truly the quality of a follower of Christ. Let us receive the story of Artaban as a model in our own journey with Jesus, maybe we are at loss of the Lord right now, but the reality is we should never stop searching for Jesus in our lives for in everyday occurrences we are like Artaban and we should be like artaban.
May the Lord give us wisdom like Artaban, the perseverance and the faith to seek the Lord in the midst of hopelessness and failures may we learn to stand and persevere to seek Christ. may our lives be filled with gladness and joy when we find Christ in our neighbors, that we may be filled pity and compassion for others just like he did in his journey. We may not find Christ face to face but find we encounter Him in the image of oppressed and the neglected. Amen
