    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.

    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...

    The Star

    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.

    David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

    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.
