There is but One Star! One star that outshines them all – The Light of World (John 8:12)
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. – Matthew 2:10 NKJV
When the wisemen saw what they were looking for there was a reaction! They rejoiced with not just joy but exceeding GREAT joy! They were wisemen and they knew that there was more to the star that they were looking at than just another star. The promise of the Messiah, our deliverer!
What are we looking at this Christmas? All the stuff on our agenda and “stuff” under the tree? Our focus should be our Star – Jesus, the brightest in the universe.
When we look at Jesus and keep our focus on Him everything else becomes dim. One way to focus on Jesus during this Christmas holiday is to read the gospel accounts of His birth. (Matthew and Luke) Joy to the world, the Lord has come! Let earth receive her King!
Let’s look at our Star and rejoice with exceedingly great joy!
