Star of Bethlehem shine in our hearts today.

   
Matthew 2: 2 ...  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.

The wise men saw his star and came.  Whose star have you seen?  If you are the star of your life, you will see lack of some kind.  If only I had this or that, or if this one or that one hadn't left me or died, I could celebrate Christmas.  The spirit of Christmas is lacking.  If hollywood is your star, you'll look to the glitter of fame and see what they have to offer.  Soon your happiness will vanish like a vapour.

To see His star is to see the miracle God sent down on Christmas Day.  This wonderful gift of love wrapped up and lying in a manger.  Heaven's bundle forever changed Christmas Day for Christ is in the word Christmas and He makes all the difference in the world.  His life forever changed history.  Let Him change your history.  Right now ask Jesus to come into your mess called life and change your heart and forgive your sins.  If you keep Christ in Christmas your life will ever be filled with joy.

They saw His star and responded to Heavens message.  Let's do the same and put Christ back in Christmas.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call upon me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things thou knoweth not.

 
 If the wonder of Christmas has left your home.  Ask
Jesus to come and restore that which was lost.  Lord help
the joy of Christmas stay in our heart all year long.





Jesus did not come to
make God's love possible,
but to make God's love
visible.

The birth of the baby Jesus stands
as the most significant event in all

history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years.

Behold the Lamb

Luke 1:77  Jesus was sent to give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of sins.

Luke 1:78  Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us.

Luke 1:79  To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Luke 2: 24  Mary and Joseph came to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.  This was a poor man's offering .  A more prosperous man would have sacrificed a lamb. 

Jesus came poor that through Him we could become rich.   He suffered poverty for us all for in one way or another we are all poor.  Mary and Joseph held the lamb.  They couldn't have brought another lamb.  He was the lamb of God given for the sins of the world. 

The first Christmas present was brought by the magi to the manger.  They started the art of giving.

On Christmas Day two thousand years ago, the birth of a tiny baby in an obscure village in the Middle East was God's supreme triumph of good over evil.                       Charles Colson
