The Star
Matt 2
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time ofKing Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked
Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his
star when it rose and have come to worship him.
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them th
exact time the star had appeared.
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the
star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped
over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star,
they were overjoyed.

The Star
Gen 114 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky t
separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to ma
seasons and days and years . . .
Psalm 19:
1 ...The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the workof his hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night
they display knowledge. 3 There is no speech or language where their
voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out into all the earth, their
words to the ends of the world...

If God the Father was willing to move a star for the birth of Christ,
what is he willing to move for Christ in you?
The same Jesus thats in you is the same Jesus that was in that
manger and if he could move a star then that could he move for
you now?
This was a sign of where Christ came from: highest heaven.

The Stable
Luke 2
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee toJudea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to th
house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, wh
was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7
and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in
cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest
room available for them.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping
watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to
them . . .10 But the angel said to them . . . 11 Today in the town of
David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths
and lying in a manger.
The God familiar withHIGHEST HEAVEN
was also the God familiar with
HARSHEST HUMANITY.

every way, just as we areyet he did not sin.

The Shepherds
Luke 2
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping
watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to
them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were
terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid. I bring
you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 15 Whethe angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said
to one another, Lets go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has
happened, which the Lord has told us about.

The Shepherds
Luke 2
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby,
who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they
spread the word concerning what had been told them about this
child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds
said to them.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the
things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been
told.
