CHRISTMAS. Part-Three.

Three Kings.

Wise men or the Magi, set out from Babylonia and followed the long awaited bright star. It took them one year to get to Jerusalem and they headed for the palace to seek the King of Israel.

There they met the mad, paranoid king Herod who was bemused of their arrival. But he had a hidden agenda as so many do!

The Magi eventually found Jesus and presented Him their gifts. But on leaving an angel told them to go a different way. Thus when Herod found out, he felt mocked. But his intentions was not to honour Jesus, rather to start a genocide, in which every male child up to two years old was murdered.

Matthew 2:1-11,  2:15-18, Genesis 35:16-20,  Jeremiah 31:15.

CHRISTMAS. Part-One.

A Star.

There are two things when people think about a star, its a celeb or one that is seen in the night sky?

God chose a disturbed man to make the most amazing and prolific statement in the Bible about a certain star that was to rise over Jacob.

That same star was followed by the Magi to find the baby Jesus and that same star today is still shinning in the hearts of millions who believe and live in Him daily.

So my friend let me ask you, 'Where is that Star with you this season?

Numbers 24:17, Isaiah 16;5, Daniel 7:14, 27, Matthew 2:1-11.

Crib n Cross. Part-One.

Star of Jacob.

Do you ever bother to look up at the night sky and ponder the stars, along time ago the wisemen of three great world powers looked up nightly waiting for that event.

The prophet Daniel, the guy put in with the lions he was the one who trained the Magi and they kept to his words.   
Daniel 6:7, 12.

It is strage how God intervenes in peoples lives? 

There was mad Baalim, you know the one who heard his donkey talking to him. He was given this prophecy and that is why the wisemen came to see Jesus. 
Numbers 24:17,  Matthew 2:2.

What will you be doing this Christmas, drinking, stuffing yourself, music and sex or perhaps its time to let Him who knocks the door of your heart IN.  
Luke 11:9, Revelation 3:20.
