Christ visited by Three Wise Men

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. And for the most part each and everyday until You come for Your church is everso waiting for You to come. We are devoted ourselves only unto You each and every day and going about the business of what You have shared with us in Your precous Words so You won't be dissappointed when You crack open those skys and finally take us home in being at that beauitful banquet table which has been preparded for us all - Your church. Thank You Jesus for all that You are and willever wil be on this earth and in the heavens. catcmo2006

A LETTER FROM GOD TO HIS CHILDREN

Dear ChildrenIt has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks aretaking My name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I wasn'tactually born during this time of the year and that it was some ofyou're predecessors who decided to celebrate My birthday on what wasactually a time of pagan festival. Although I do appreciate beingremembered anytime.How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easilyunderstood by those of you who have been blessed with children of yourown. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate Mybirth just, GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Now, having said that let Mego on.If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scenedepicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santa's andsnowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If allMy followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on thetown square because there would be many of them all around town.Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holidaytree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can& may remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if youwish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching explaining who I am inrelation to you & what each of our tasks were. If you have forgottenthat one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is mywish list. Choose something from it.1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthdayis being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers awayfrom home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. Iknow, they tell Me all the time.2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know thempersonally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.3. Instead of writing George complaining about the wording on the cardshis staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him thatyou'll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up. Itwill be nice hearing from you again.4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford andthey don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth,and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms andremind them that I love them.5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their ownlife this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since youdon't know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smileit could make the difference. Also, you might consider supporting thelocal Hot-Line: they talk with people like that every day.7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls theholiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warmsmile and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "MerryChristmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stopshopping there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much money on thatday they'd close and let their employees spend the day at home withtheir families.8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary,especially one who takes My love & Good News to those who have neverheard My name. You may already know someone like that.9. Here's a good one. There are individuals & whole families in yourtown who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will theyhave any presents to give or receive. If you don't know them (and Isuspect you don't) buy some food & a few gifts & give them to theMarines, the Salvation Army or some other charity that believes in Me &they will make the delivery for you.10. Finally if you want to make a statement about your belief in andloyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do things in secretthat you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your actionsthat you are one of mine.P.S. Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me &do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check outthe list above & get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ballis now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with allthose whom you love and remember, I LOVE YOU. Thanks to several of youfor this one.God's love shown thru you is the greatest Christmas gift you cangive to anyone. Remember, God is love and as you share his love youreceive much more from him than you could ever give to someone you blesswith your love.1John 1:9 "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive usour sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
