Overwhelmed (Matthew 2:1-12)

Overwhelmed.  We often use this word to describe things like taxes, bills, and work.  But in today's reading from the Lectionary, we read that the wise men from the East saw the star and were overwhelmed with joy.  On this Epiphany Sunday, we take a closer look at the three major players in this narrative from Matthew, and we determine for ourselves, with which one do we most closely identify?  Are we troubled by the coming of Christ, or are we, like the Magi, overwhelmed with joy?
