The palace’s loss was the manger’s gain
Herod’s loss was the wisemen’s gain
Innkeeper’s loss was the shepherds’ gain
Bethlehem’s loss was Nazareth’s gain
Swaddling clothes gave way to the manger’s hay
Dazzling regal lights lost to the Star which obeyed it’s Maker
Wisemen sought Him then
The wise seek Him still
Most wish for love, joy and peace for Christmas. But Jesus is the only guarantee of love, joy and peace.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things that ye pine after shall be added unto you.
Jesus was sought and found by the wisemen and the shepherds and everyone in between, completing the spectrum of the hierarchy in the society.
Our children don’t need more stories of fictional characters coming down the chimney with gifts, they need to be told about the greatest gift for mankind- Jesus.
Christmas without Christ is not only a farce but also a tragedy.
May you have a blessed Christmas.
