Matt.2:1-4 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.___________________________________________ Luke 2:12,15-20And 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. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.The Wise men were very wise to not fall into King Herods trap by his charm and manipluations to only achieve his tyrant views and his hidden agends only to get inforation and whereabouts of the Christ child whom is our Messiah in our lives. When Herod was only lying about his true feelings for what he was about to do to baby Jesus the only thing that he had been up to was to be abusive in his own personality to bring his domination that is only in himself. But those wise men was very careful and advoided him entirely and took another route instead.Oh, how those encounters may have been with those wisemen and the shepards in seeing Him in that wonderful birthplace when really wasn't the ideal place that we see on our christmas cards that passed around to every one whom read them this time of year.It was probably cold, damp, and a very dirty cave with a hollowed- out feeding trough or his manger that our baby Jesus had laid in . But stil yet...It was fit for a King! As our very Royal Prince and Presence .And for us as the whole people whom felt that way at first whom come in and say unto us I'm to dirty, or unfit to be a person in whom Jesus Christ wants of Me...... He wouldn't accept someone like me like I'am today. Isn't a blessing that He does No matter what self may think or say at that time. Thankfully and rejoicfully he does and always will come unto us when we ask him.. he right there! He accepts us right on that spot where we are at in that moment in time No matter what we think. He ready and He is waiting for us at any time and any where all we have to do is ask him to come into our lives. Hallelujah!!!! Thank You Jesus ! And I say to Jesus .... Happy Birthday to You Messiah ! This is Your day and we wrap our loving arms around You and we love to love upon You in our own hearts and in keeping it opened unto You in Listening to what You share with us on Your blessed birthday.
