Follow the Star to Bethlehem this Christmas

“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see – I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11 (NRSV)


The Magi- The Watchful Ones

The Jews had all the prophecies, but they were not looking in the right place for the Messiah. It was the Magi, men who learned from the prophet Daniel, who knew that Jesus, the Savior, was born in Bethlehem.
