Matthew 2:1-2 and 10-11.
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the King, behold there came wise men from the east to Jeruselem, saying, where is he that is born, King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down and worshipped him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.”
That brilliant and beautiful star brings glorius promises to all mankind. If we allow its light to penetrate deep into our souls and guide us to that babe born in Bethlehem, even Jesus Christ…. we can have all of His promises and blessings that come as we follow His teachings.
Jesus Christ was born, died and resurrected so that each of us can have Eternal life and return to our Father in Heaven. What a glorious gift! Our gift to Him is measured by our efforts in keeping His commandments. We can follow the example of the wise men who followed the star, and come unto Him.
Each of us are born with His glorious light!!! Light that can stop the darkness! Let your light shine just like the star that the wisemen followed that others may come unto Christ because of your example. May we all ponder for a moment this Christmas, the glorious birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!
Follow the Star!!!
