Let’s get real! Life on this planet is not easy; or forgiving! Life will not move over to share space to allow more time; or more finances, just because something, whether expected or unexpected, has come up. Life happens, but what is life all about? What is life? I hope you stay with me a little while longer and continue in this 7 day Christmas Letter Series, because I really believe that if we get what God is saying to us about how to survive in this world after the miracle through Jesus, we will never be the same!
A new perspective on life is a powerful knowledge to gain! As a shocker sentence still to me: How do you reflect the Love of Jesus? I mean really? Would you say that it is natural or easy; or that nature comes without a fight / or struggle? Honestly, temperance is the word of the week for me, because human nature is only overpowered by the supernatural spiritual nature of the living Christ!
So how does someone reflect the love of Jesus; when it seriously feels like carrying a cross for someone sometimes!? We don’t do it in these times for ourselves –no; a true believer of Christ reflects the nature of Jesus for that person that God places on our heart that knows: God loves the world. We can hear a whisper from God, that He says, “Paint a picture of my love for them to see something different living in you.” So the answer to how does someone reflect the Love of Jesus is simply when you know the power of God’s Love!
The answer is simply, when you know the power of God’s love!
Sure, many people do kind things, but the love of Jesus goes far beyond kindness! Sure, this may seem sappy, but the love of Jesus goes far beyond sappy! The love of Jesus is the power of God! Love even disciplines children, so we are talking about a new perspective of love that is of God! God is love!
This is not a sappy post about love. This is about the power of understanding the purpose of Creation! What is life all about; and why are you here?
What is life all about; and why are you here?
I can’t stop writing this morning, but this all ties together!
When this enormous inspiration began, what the Lord has now revealed to me that it was a part to be built into what is now these “7 days of Christmas letters”, the Lord revealed to me, I had to demonstrate Christ through God’s plan from the Beginning!
We have to look at Christ through Creation to know and understand that you are created by God on purpose! Not as a cruel joke, as I have heard some say, but rather because you are made in the image of God and God knows the plans he has for you –not to harm you, but to give you hope and a future! God values you so much that He planned all eternity for you!!!
As you, Lord willing read the Creation Scriptures towards the end of this letter; keep also this thought on your mind. Why have I dedicated this time to write to you? Think about it: 1)I don’t get paid; 2)I have more to do than you can possibly know; 3)the Bible is available everywhere and 4)there are peeps out there who are writing the same theme of a message in a very special, beautiful and unique way. Yet, I really believe God has given me a portion to share.
Think about why I am sacrificing my time to write to you:
That you are that valuable to God; and I serve the living Lord Jesus. Sure, I write long letters –not on purpose, but I believe by God’s all-knowing will that there is a portion in this that God will speak to you, [if neither of us get in God’s way]. This is why have I dedicated this time to write to you; as the Lord leads. I hope you will notice Jesus in my heart as is the evidence to the faith that pleases God for us to know and believe in the love God has for the you; and whosoever in the world that might believe.
Yes! There is Hope! And, yes; God would go to these great lengths to demonstrate His love for you!
Funny, I just realized that God created the world and the entire universe, including mankind in just 7 days, and it is taking me longer than a whole 7 days to paint of picture of God’s love for you! This is not by accident, but by God’s all-knowing design.
This is not by accident, but by God’s all-knowing design.
Will you press on to read this? I will press on to complete this; and when it is posted, I always take time to sit and read this one more time and without editing; and then I say to God, “Thank you God, it is good.”
So, the inspirational message theme:
This is Christ in Christmas to me
…Giving from a heart that knows the love of God for the good of another who might need to see God’s love.
God is love; and Jesus connects us to the True vine of love!
The love of Jesus is sacrificial love for the good of another person; and this action makes a supernatural sweet peace swell up inside; the evidence of faith; and the assurance of God’s working power. Peace is the evidence of a Supernatural and all-knowing God living in us through Jesus Christ, the Savior and Lord.
Painting a picture of the Love of Jesus
The Love of Jesus is a sacrificial kindness and patience when we don’t feel like it; or when something personal in our important agenda has to be put off for the good of another person. This is the love of Jesus; that we complete faith in the assignment we know is from God; that God presses on our heart to believe those things that are really important to the way we think.
–Sacrificial patience and kindness (love) for the good of another person: It is impossible to sacrifice “yourself” desires for the good of another person you don’t know, unless you really know and believe in the power of the love God that has for us.
Going beyond a good deed, only the love of Jesus living and breathing inside a believer would drive a person to press through obstacles to complete an assignment, only by faith and because we really believe God wants you to know [and grow in], your personal knowledge of the Love of God! This letter is a demonstration of the love God has for you! And, comes as an encouragement from the heart of one believer to encourage you to seek what I know is worth being found! More specifically, God wants you (and all who might believe) to come to know and believe and grow in your personal knowledge of God’s love for you!
I hope you have read and return often to re-read, the introduction; and welcome letter to these 7 Days of Christmas Letters to you from the heart of Hope in Today Ministries. When we discover Christ, each day is made brand new, with both new and renewed perspectives of life! In Christ, peace and joy can be, and is found in Jesus Christ. Christ in Christmas is not a day, but rather, Christ is our position in our relationship with God every day and all year-long, and as long as God calls it today; and forevermore!
I hope this series will bless you with a renewed discovery in your faith that is growing to please God. God gives us a measure of faith to believe, but we are not meant to stay there, we are meant to grow and bloom for Christ!
I hope that you are already sensing that life that you are meant to discover inside of you bursting open to believe and live free in Christ! What is this life growing alive in you anyway to believe?
This life is the substance of Christ; and the evidence of God’s love for you!
FAITH is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)!
Something else to think about as themed in these 7 Christmas Letters to you:
Can you “do” Christmas?
What is Christmas to the world? What is Christmas to you?
Can you “do” Christmas? And, can you “do” Christmas right; or wrong? With smiles in Jesus, the answer I believe is “No;” because to God we are not a failure; nor a success by human standards! We don’t do Christmas, but rather, by God’s grace, we can demonstrate the love of God living in us at Christmas; as each day calls us to live the same grace, to the glory of God; and through Christ who gives us Wisdom, strength and courage to make adjustments in our thinking to make room for the Mind of Christ to move us.
Making adjustments in our thinking to make room for the Mind of Christ to move us.
Rather than doing Christmas, we live in Christ and Christ lives through us, but we cannot do Christ. Like a river that flows, Christ flowing through our life has a beginning to that river; and that beginning is God. We start at the top and flow down as the water carries us. We can’t paddle upwards against the powerful current successfully; nor endure for long enough. To live a life in peace and free in Christ, we go to the beginning Source of that river, which represents the power of God; and we discover all we ever need to know to survive well in this world after the miracle through Jesus!
This is the heart of what these 7 Days of Christmas Letters are all about! As a praise to God for just revealing this to me, “What we do; or what we don’t do” is one of the biggest deceptions loose in this world! We might paddle a little ways up that stream, but eventually we all will come to know that we need Jesus to carry us God’s way!
“What we do; or what we don’t do” is one of the biggest deceptions loose in this world!
Regardless of what we believe about Jesus, in this world there are some very difficult things to overcome! I am writing to you today to bring you a message of Hope! Sometimes, all we need to hear is that, “Yes, there is hope”; and I am here today to say to you: Yes! There is Hope!
Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
The gift of Christ is God’s Love! We can’t “do this love”; and we cannot “outdo this love; nor can we “underdo this love”! The love of Christ just IS as a river flows; and God is the Source! God is love! Jesus connects us to the Vine of life; and Jesus is the Vine! We are the branches…
The message to the world every day; and as long as God calls this day today, is the gift to the world is God’s Love through His Son, but the world hasn’t understood yet, that God’s plan began before Creation and you were a part of God’s plan to be born!
You were a part of God’s plan to be born!
Yes! God loves you! And, YES! There is HOPE! The Bible teaches us that “My people are perishing for a lack of knowledge”. The Truth is that Jesus loves us so much! And, the truth is that Satan is prowling around in the world seeking whom he may devour by messing with our desire to gain knowledge, by deceiving us about Source of our knowledge!
So, don’t take it personal, buckle up and let’s learn together how to survive in this world after the miracle through Jesus! You were a part of God’s plan to be born! Perhaps, that sentence is scary to you? May I call you friend? If so, I would say, friend, there is nothing to fear in Christ, but fear itself …and fear is Satan’s power tool to block us from growing in our knowledge; to leave us in a lack of knowledge and confuse us to avoid getting understanding. A lack of knowledge is where fear can thrive and live!
You were a part of God’s plan to be born!
Don’t let the fear of knowledge of God block you from pressing on to be set free!
Hosea 4: James Version (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Childlike faith means easy to trust the one they know and love!
But, with Satan loose in this broken world, a Father’s love is not always represented as love should be understood. This may have been your story so far?
“Believe” is, perhaps, one of the most powerful and misunderstood words in the world; and yet the most simple. The Bible teaches us to believe with childlike faith. Think about what that really means! Childlike faith does not mean stupidity; Children are not stupid; they are capable of learning and growing in their knowledge; and recognizing the truth with a mind that can think and decide. Childlike faith means easy to trust the one they know and love!
“Trust” is the main word that Satan has attacked in this world against us to distract us from “Believe”!
“Trust in God” is found offensive to some, but if you will pause for a moment and explore your heart, I believe you will discover the truth about who loves you; and who is seeking to devour you. You were not meant to be manipulated, but Satan is the father of all lies and he would deceive even the elect if that were possible!
But God is the God of mercies and the Father of all comfort, even the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I am not just throwing words on this screen for you to believe! I don’t even know you, but I respect you enough that you have a mind that is more than capable to decide what you will believe than just taking things at face value. I believe you will search and seek to find answers; and just an answer, but the truth that you will know and believe in love God has for you.
I just care, and because of the difference Christ makes in my life, you are worth my time writing to you today. Will you read this however? I may never know, but I do know that the same God who is pressing me to write, is the same God who is pressing your heart to believe!
the same God who is pressing me to write, is the same God who is pressing your heart to believe!
In this broken world, we have to test everything for the truth! We also have to test our heart for the truth. In this broken world there is a powerful deceiver; but also in this world, a Savior has come! Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Life to save us from the destruction of sin and evil that is loosed in this world. Jesus IS our living help to help us know how to survive in this world after the miracle through Jesus.
Are you still with me?
You are not alone; and God has not left you; nor has God forsaken you.
If you do not have time to continue right now, please return when you can; not because of what I write, but because of the Scriptures and the method God has revealed to me to present this to you today.
Whether you believe in these things that perhaps you cannot see yet is okay for now, but God leave you in a lack of knowledge, especially, if you are seeking the truth. You are not alone and God has not left you; nor has God forsaken you. God is the Father God, who is the Creator; and He does long in the, can I say it like this, in the “suffering of patience” for you to know and believe in the love God has for you; that you will trust in God’s love that God gave unto you, so that you can believe to confess that Jesus loves you too.
Creation is evidence of God’s love for you.
Jesus is the living Christ; and you are invited to read along and I hope this is a blessing to you to explore the measure of faith that God has given to you to believe with childlike faith that live begins with God and Creation is evidence of God’s love for you. Creation was planned for you! Everything we need to survive has been well thought out, planned and provided for us BEFORE we were even made by God! Every need has been met! Creation is a picture of a Father’s love!
Creation is a picture of a Father’s love!
Creation is a topic that deserves our time to discover for ourselves what God has done for us, because He has loved us before we were even born! And, once we get this, we will never be the same!
Let’s begin with identifying the confusion! God is not a god of confusion, but God (with a capital G) is a God of truth and of peace and of love for us.
However, in this broken world, as the world is becoming more comfortable with the conforming ways of the world, even the traditions of Christmas, Christmas has become more of a time of feeling empty, lonely and depressed for some.
Where does Christ fit into this time of the year, called Christmas?
Christ lives in our Born Again heart …
This is a challenge to our thinking, but that isn’t it possible that the traditions of “Celebrating” Christmas have become a policy of the world that has overtaken the “Reminder” that we need the relationship with the Jesus the Christ?
Each year, I am amazed at how the world “tries so hard” to bring Christmas over the top with the new attractions, when Christmas is a posture of at home with God through Christ heart. I do for sure enjoy the lights and sounds of Christmas, but these things can’t replace the sadness we feel in our heart for the loved one in our family who is not with us any more. Unconditionally, situations and circumstances change in this life, but God is never-changing and His promises of hope are just as firm as ever!
Man can never accomplish what God has done for us through His Son. This is the Peace of Christmas, that God has So loved the World.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27
Creation is a picture of a Father’s love! Yet, in the stores, I stand and look around; and in these things, it is so empty in the Spirit of the living Lord that I hear the people who work in these places say that they can’t wait for this Holiday to be over and done with. Where is Christ in the Christmas Spirit found? Only in Christ and only in our spirit do we find the Spirit of Christ in every day, including Christmas.
Finding the Spirit of Christ is the Miracle
This very world effort of “Christmas Commercial Explosion” is perhaps???, the very way Satan works in the world to move us away; and distract us; when we are very close to discovering the truth about Jesus? The hype of excitement, the endless preparation, the stress and anticipation; and then sudden drop that is over? Well, think about those attractions…& there is no comparison to the power of God’s love and peace of God that comes to us to live in us through the power of Jesus Christ! Yet, the world denies him???
there is no comparison to the power of God’s love
Perhaps, you are closer than you think in discovering the faith that God wants you to trust in Him. God’s love is exactly what people are really seeking, but Satan is very busy distracting the world from the true and living message of Christ. Satan knows the truth about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit; and even he knows that if you seek, you shall find; so Satan is your worst enemy; and the enemy of God is the liar and the thief to recognize and avoid!
However, I am not writing to the one who is a child of Satan, I am writing to you. Satan will work to deceive you and line things up to convince you to get you to oppose God; and even point the finger at God to get you to walk away from God to follow him; when in fact, you were almost there …to finding your freedom in Christ!
John 8:44
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
John 8:12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of.”
The Supremacy of Christ
Colossians 1…16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17Heis before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.…
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Peace is a completion (not a competition) of our pure heart given to God; that nothing can compare to the love of God! Peace is a supernatural way of life in us that is unconditional to circumstances. Peace and joy are everlastingly available to us (as far as it depends on me seeking God 1st), even on this earth as it is in Heaven.
IF WE KNOW HOW TO GET THERE…
Jesus is not a drug that gives you an upper and then a downer. Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God, who is our helper when times get low; and is our confidence in a born again believer’s smile!
Are you smiling from the inside out? Some people smile; and say things are okay, and some people just don’t smile. But, Jesus makes your eyes light up and with a confidence that brings a peace that can’t lie to your radiant smile.
From the Birth, to the Resurrection,
Let’s open our Bibles and begin learning about who is this Child
that has come to save the world from the penalty of sin?
JESUS is the gift of God’s LOVE that God has given to the world BELIEVE! Jesus is our hope. Yes! There is Hope! He is Peace! He is Wisdom! There is the Truth available if we seek (Jesus); there is the Way to hope available if we seek (Jesus); there is the Life available if we seek (Jesus); and Christ has super-succeeded life for us beyond the limitations in this broken world as we know it today!
If we seek God 1st
Wow! How excited are you that JESUS is BORN & RISEN!!!
What does the Birth of Christ mean to you? And, yes there was death, but in Christ is where Hope is found!
Let’s open our hearts and like a diver puts on His gear to go under the water to discover what is already there, let’s build ourselves up in our most holy faith, by exploring God’s Word with an open heart! You wouldn’t go under the water without a full oxygen tank to breathe, so let’s not go into faith without filling up with God’s Word!
This was the beginning of a 4 to 5 part series! That has become the 7 Christmas Letters to you!
I hope that you will join me along this path of Growing in our faith that pleases God!
Faith comes by hearing; and hearing comes by the Word of God!
Let’s Read the Word of God
together out loud!!!
And, let’s shine that light of believing for all the world to see!
From Creation:
Genesis 1 King James Version
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
To the Sin:
Genesis 3 King James Version
5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make onewise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Knowledge of Good and Evil was born into man through Sin (Adam’s Disobedience to God):
7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
It is the fruit of this enmity, that there is a continual warfare between grace and corruption, in the hearts of God’s people.
YET! A gracious promise is here made of Christ, as the Deliverer of fallen man from the power of Satan. Here was the dawn of the gospel day: no sooner was the wound given, than the remedy was provided and revealed.
From the Sweet Creation to the Fall of mankind to sin –God’s Tender Loving Care, Grace, Mercy, Provisions and forgiveness is Evident at first sight!!!
19 …for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
God’s all-Knowing Protections!
Evidence that in all things –In the beginning God had and agenda and Satan had an agenda. God’s agenda is for us to give us life and life in abundance. Satan’s Agenda is to kill, steal and destroy. Satan seeks to devour. God gave us the remedy!
As I read this, we are not strong enough on our own to avoid temptations! We need Jesus daily; and God knew we needed protection from our own weak desires that would have landed us in a place of misery with no hope or plan of redemption!
God protected us from our self!
WOW! This is a Father’s Love!!!
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
John 1:1 clearly says
God is not surprised by us!
John 1(KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
For some:
God knows where you have been, and what you have done, but God has SO loved you anyway!
For Some:
God has experienced your pain with you with a sorrowful heart, even as Jesus went to the cross for you!
God knows our human nature and understands our human sufferings, pains and weaknesses more than we do. But God just wants us to trust Him and come to the feet of Jesus to experience the true love of Christ!
What does Christmas mean to the world? Who is Christ in Christmas to you?
Will you allow the corruptions of the world to interfere with the Peace Jesus has left for you?
Why is it?…that Christians have allowed traditions to creep in and create such a time that many feel more alone, depressed, suicidal, and left out? Isn’t Christmas time a remembrance of the greatest act of love mankind has ever known? The Birth of Jesus and the power of Christ, is a focal point that enabled Peter to walk on the Water!!!
The Focal Point of Christmas – is Peace in our heart!
Remembering Christ is a time to reflect that we were in a terrible place of being separated from God because of sin, but God loved us anyway and sent us a piece of His very Self, God’s Son, to be a Savior, Lord and a teacher. Jesus, who calls us friend –to those who love Him and follow the Truth God’s Way to the Life God gives to us to know and believe!
God is a patient!!! God understands! God forgives! GOD IS LOVE! God is for you / not against and knows the plans HE has for you to prosper you / and not to harm! A time to remember
A time to remember that God is a God of Peace and of Grace, Mercies and Tender Kindness. Yet, God is the God of wrath for those who willingly reject the Love God sent to the world …God is just. Hell was NOT made for people! Hell was made for Satan and for Satan’s Angels … and God is patient NOT WILLING any should perish by being deceived.
And, so you are still reading?
God is love!
This is true love! God is love!
God is perfect; and we can be better through Christ who gives us strength! Are we willing to seek God first in all things?
What does that mean to you to seek God 1st? May I suggest that when we open the Bible to seek God’s thoughts on any little or big thing? –Then, faith (with virtue added to) seeking God 1st pleases God.
There is HOPE!
HOPE IS GOD!
Our HOPE is JESUS!
God has come in the flesh through His Son to meet our need right where we are! Jesus is the Seed that is good for us –Satan’s agenda is evident in the world to devour! Satan’s goal is to kill, steal and destroy, but …Jesus come that we might choose life and seek the blessings of God by seeking God 1st.
John 10:10King James Version (KJV)
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Think about how important God’s Word is to you to know and understand how it applies to your good life!
John 1:1-18 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Merry Christmas !
Christ in Christmas is the
Merry in Christmas!
I look forward to posting, Lord willing a shorter letter tomorrow! Grace and peace be with you! Jesus is born & risen! He is the Author and Finisher of our faith! What a baby to have seen on that day!!! What a Star to follow to see that Child!
How long would you follow that star to see the Child of God who had come to save the world?
Matthew Chapter 2…
There came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 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.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 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.
Grace and Peace be with you in Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord!
