Charting the Course!
Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea. Wise
men came from the east and said, "We were in the east, we
saw His star." Matthew 2:2
They were following the course that God
had charted for them. Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem in Judea
and was born a King for God's children! The magi or wise men
wanted to find the Christ child whom they had been told was the
"Anointed One of God," the "Messiah," and
the "King of the Jews." They were bearing gifts to
take to the child that would grow up to be the Shepherd of the
people of Israel. When they found Him, they were filled with
great joy! They bowed down and worshiped Him.
The same is true for a child of God. When
we find Him we are filled with great joy. He is worthy of our
worship and praise. Jesus gave the gift of eternal life to all
who will believe in Him and receive the gift in faith. God the
Father leads us to His Son and we are given a choice to accept
or reject. After we accept God's saving grace, the best gift
we can give back to Jesus is to love Him with all our hearts.
He wants us to share His Love, Peace and Joy with others.
Joshua Jackrabbit is charting the course
which leads to the brightest star in the sky. The Critters will
tell their friends, "If you follow this Star, you will find
true Love, Peace and Joy." They want others to know about
the baby Jesus. They will celebrate His birth on Christmas Day.
Their map will show others the way!
When we celebrate Christmas, we celebrate
Jesus' birth. God gave us His Son so that we can live with Him
forever! That is the "Joy in giving!" Jesus is God's
present to us!
- Sing praises and thank God for
His wonderful Gift!
- Enjoy the celebration and remember,
-
- JESUS is the Reason for the Season!
