Pre-Christmas Thoughts...

Pre-Christmas Thoughts from a Random Mind

 

                  The night sky is filled with stars, some bright, some a little dull, some near and some very, very far away. They make a light filled tapestry that is very impressive even to the most casual of observers. The further into the suburbs and outlying areas, away from all the light pollution the sky is transformed. The deeper darkness reveals billions more stars so that it almost looks like a thick starry blanket that covers the night sky. Breathtaking is the only way to describe it.

            A little over 2000 years ago a certain star filled a small segment of the sky. It was said to have led the 3 Magi to where the Christ child lay. Some scientists and astronomers got together and tried to find out if it really was a star or other celestial bodies that were responsible for that certain big, bright light that night. That star provided the type of light that made travel a bit easier as it lit up the terrain that surrounded you as you continue your trek thru the night. There was speculation that it may have been 3 planets, all properly aligned at the time of Christ’s birth that could have been responsible for that great light. Others speculate that it may have been an mighty angel shining with the light of heaven, that hovered over where Christ laid as a sign of the importance of this development. Or it could have simply been a star … a Star of Bethlehem. Regardless of what it was, it’s light drew those God desired to be present for the birth of his beloved Son. His Son who would live and die with the sole purpose of eradicating all sin from the hearts of mankind.

            There was nothing special about that star other than it being one of a myriad of conduits used by God to fulfill his purposes. Another piece in the mysterious puzzle that constituted his grand plan of salvation. Once the star had served its purpose it is never spoken of again. Another innocuous event in the lives of men that led to a greater purpose, a singular goal, the expulsion of sin from man’s heart. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!

In His name & for His glory,
