One thing that really hit home to me was that there is a new motivation for worship in the story of the Magi. Herod tried to kill him and the people of Israel were disturbed, but not interested in him. The magi were the only ones who understood the value of this child.
It is similar today - most of our world does not care about Christ; if he came to earth he would probably be killed; and his name is an 'acceptable' swear word in this nation.
If we who know Christ as King don't rejoice in him, worship him and open our treasures before him - no one else will.
