Mat 2:2 “Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him\u201d.<\/p>\n
Devoid of compass and modern day positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services ,the wise men studied the constellations and realised that there was one star that was unique and distinct from others. It had a special message for the entire world that somewhere in Bethlehem a lamb and a lion ,a servant and a king was born.
\nGod provided this star to eliminate the possibility of their circumlocutions and meandering in the desert without knowing direction<\/p>\n
In a dark world with dark circumstances and ruled by the king of darkness , its possible to grapple in darkness and at times searching for illumination from the wrong things .But worry not , we have not only seen his star but He Himself is the star.<\/p>\n
” I will look at him, but not now; I will see him, but not near. A Star will come out of Jacob, and a Sceptre will rise out of Israel( “Num. 24:17).This star doesn’t lead to the manger for statistical purposes but leads to heaven for eternal life .”For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Behave as children of light (Eph 5:8).<\/p>\n
