Title: The Birth of Jesus Christ. Post by: Revolutionist on December 24, 2006, 11:45:15 PM The above picture is found in:Luke 2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
There where NO wise men here in this scripture. Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. Matthew 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. Matthew 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. As you can tell this time of the year is only about what you can buy to make the receiver of the gifts to be happy. No the real gift that was brought down from heaven which was a small baby that is a King. As you can read from the scriptures from above in verse Matthew 2:9 that the wise men followed the star until it was over the child. How many people of today seek to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to Christ. When they found the star over the child they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. How many of the so called Christians do that today for Christ when they find Him in there secret place each morning if they have this time with Him. When the wise men came into the house they saw the young child an fell down and worshiped Him, bring gifts with them to give to the King. Do we do that today when we come into His presence? I don't think so, why not are we to good to do that? Really to be honest with you all Christians of today only what to serve Him when they feel like it or just on Sunday mornings an the live the other 6 days like they want to. He is not pleased by this action of His so called people. The road with Him is straight an a narrow way, only the ones who what to pay the price, we need to count the cost that we are expected to do when we serve the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to be seeking Christ all of the time an looking everywhere to find Him this time of the year. Really Jesus Christ was not born at this time of the year, only the world wanted to have it at this time of the year to MAKE MONEY which is Commercialism. :o From: The Revolutionist His Bondservant Forever In Christ Jesus |
