“Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
—Matthew 2:2, ESV
In the stable of the inn at Bethlehem, a virgin mother lays her child in a manger. Over the cave a bright star shines. What a moment! What an hour!
Many stars shone in the sky, but none like this one. This one shone with aura and brilliance! It was as though God had taken a lamp from the ceiling of Heaven and hung it in the dark sky over a troubled world. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).
No informed person today will deny that the human race walks in darkness. There are dilemmas and problems that seemingly have no answer. The Bible tells us that star is God’s promised peace to the world if we will believe and trust Him.
Billy Graham’s Prayer:
“Your light shines in the darkest place and gives me hope, Lord Jesus.”
