THE STAR 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. Matthew 2:2(KJV) Not too many children are so important that their arrival is marked by signs in the sky above. But this child’s coming was marked with a star. Christmas trees today still have symbols on top reminding us today of that special day. The wise men saw it! They looked up and knew what it meant. It was proclaiming the birth of the Lord’s Messiah, the world’s Savior, and God’s selected King of the Jews. The star – it pointed to the only one who was truly worthy of our worship, our time. Immediately the wise men saw it, they dropped everything and began the only journey that could have mattered at that moment. They started their journey to find the child, the gift, the life-maker and life-changer. The star – it rested upon the place of Bethlehem to mark a promise fulfilled. A promise made by God Himself about the coming of His chosen person to bring true peace, healing, and forgiveness to the world. The wise men saw the event the star celebrated! God has kept His word! His Chosen One is here! And His name is Jesus! But just as Jesus’ first visit to earth came with a sign from above, God promises that Jesus’ second visit will be accompanied by another sign from above as well. Acts 2:19-21 says, And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below – blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. As we celebrate this Christmas, lets be reminded of the rest of the signs God is using today to mark the second coming of Christ. Just like a rainbow points to a promise from God and just like a star points to another; solar eclipses accompanied by the blood red moons are the fulfillment of yet another promise from God. Jesus is coming again and coming soon! Wise men still know what the signs from above represent. Wise men also drop everything to worship the only One worth worshipping – Jesus Christ! Jesus Is Lord!!! Shalom!!
