What is that in the sky?

“Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”  – Matthew 2:2

Oh they will say that it was a comet, or planets aligning.  They can trace back over time and use their astrological maps and science to explain away the bright light that shone on that cold night in Israel.  For centuries scientists have tried to minimize and falsify the importance of the birth of Jesus Christ based on scientific data.  Their inability to accept the sovereignty and omnipotence of the Almighty God of the universe clouds their vision.  Without faith and trust that God can do whatever He wants to do, whenever He wants to do it, they will never be able to accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
Science is all based on physical evidence.  Logic, emotion and indeterminate variables aren’t acceptable in their theorems and calculations.  To the most agnostic of them, there is no supreme being, there was no Messiah and there will not be a day of tribulation.  There is a belief that these are stories formed in ancient history before man could comprehend the scientific evidence of matter, energy and our existence.  They might say, it was good enough for their primitive knowledge, but through thousands of years we have evolved into a much more intelligent and aware society.  Some would believe that man’s ingenuity and innovation have resulted in our ability to substantiate and scientifically prove everything, therefore refuting the claims of the theists that there is a God with authority over all things.

Despite the claims and the lack of faith held by some of the most brilliant minds in the world today – there will come a day when their formulas, projections, theories and postulations will become null and void.  There will be a light in the sky so unbelievably bright that all mankind will see and not understand.  You see, I take the bible as God’s holy word.  If the contents in Matthew’s story of the glorious night of my Saviors birth are embellished then God has chosen, in His infinite wisdom, for them to be that way.  It is not for me to understand the reasons behind the scriptures and the presentation of different events, it is simply for me to believe that God has a reason for everything.  If God’s word is flawed in any of it’s content, then one will naturally question the accuracy of the grace, love, mercy and salvation through Jesus Christ. 


It is the Holy Word of our Lord and is complete, comprehensive and accurate to the very letter contained on every page.  Man has interpreted it in many different ways, but the sovereignty of God is still between the bindings and covers.  Let Christ’s light shine from each of us this Christmas season so that others will be drawn to His birth just as you and I were at one time.


Prayer:
Almighty God,
We acknowledge Your supreme authority over all things.  We recognize the Holy Bible as Your inspired Word for us.  We thank You for Your Word, that we might draw closer to You through the events and history captured upon these pages.  Help us to learn from Your word, and become stronger to stand up for the contents and message that is contained within.  Help us to see Your holy light, and let it likewise draw us to the Christ child this Christmas season, just as it did the Wise Men that cold winter night.  – Amen
