Matthew 2:9 “…and, lo, the star… went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.“ What a tender picture of God’s guidance. The same star that called them now carried them. Every mile they traveled, light went before them. God never calls us to walk a path He has not…

Matthew 2:8 “…that I may come and worship him also.“ Herod spoke the language of worship, but his heart was full of wickedness. His words sounded religious, but his motives were murderous. This is a warning to every believer: not all who speak of Christ truly seek Him. Some wear the mask of reverence while

Matthew 2:5 “And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet…“ Long before the star appeared, God had already spoken through His Word. The star gave direction, but Scripture gave revelation. The wise men relied on a star for part of the journey, but they needed the

Matthew 2:6 “And thou Bethlehem… out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.“ The religious leaders knew the Scriptures. They knew the prophecy. They knew the location of the Messiah’s birth. Yet knowing truth is not the same as following truth. It is sobering to realize that the chief priests

Matthew 2:3 “When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.“ The announcement of Jesus’ birth did not bring joy to everyone. Herod heard the news and was troubled—deeply shaken because another King had come. Some hearts rejoice at the thought of Christ; others resist Him. The same light

Matthew 2:2 “Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.“ The wise men began their journey with a question—a question that still echoes through the hearts of people today: Where is He? Their search was intentional, sincere, and deeply spiritual.

Luke 2:19 “But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.“ People responded to Christ’s birth in different ways. Some wondered. Mary pondered. The shepherds praised. Mary teaches us to treasure the work of God in quiet reflection—to sit still and let the weight of God’s grace sink deep into our hearts.

Luke 2:15 “Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass…“ The shepherds didn’t just hear the message—they acted on it. They said, “Let us go now.” Their faith moved them. True belief always produces action. Faith hears, faith trusts, and faith moves toward Jesus. They came with

Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.“ Heaven could not remain silent. When Christ was born, angels filled the sky with praise. The birth of Jesus is not just a historical fact—it is a heavenly celebration. Worship is the natural response to who Jesus is and

Luke 2:12 “And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.“ God gave the shepherds a simple sign—not a throne, not a king’s robe, not a royal cradle. The sign was humility. The Saviour would be found wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying
