Scripture and a Snapshot - We Saw His Star

Scripture and a Snapshot - We Saw His Star - When they saw the star, they were overjoyed . . . The heavens declare the glory of God . . . (Matthew 2 and Psalm 19) Scripture and a Snapshot is a weekly link-up at Just A Second @ justasecondblog.blogspot.com

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "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."

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

~Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11~

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
the words to the ends of the world.

~Psalm 19:1-4~

  1. May we look up at night, see the stars, and our response be to worship our God. Such a good reminder not only at Christmas but all the year through. Blessings!
