Christmas is coming with moments of joy and happiness. Every Christmas is a call to live a life of hope by standing with Christ. Christmas comes with many hints that will bring us to hope.
As early as December, usually, we hang the star in front of the house. Ever wondered where this star came from! How come! The star also has a story to tell; A meaningful story.
The story begins with a biblical account. In the ninth verse of the second chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew, he says: ” and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was. ”
Each star presents a message. That is, the star is the guide to the wise men who do not know where Jesus was born. Guides! The stars can be described as such. This is what every star we hang in front of our house in preparation for Christmas asks us – can you be a guide? A guide that shows the way to many who seek Jesus, long for Jesus in their hearts, and do not know the way to reach Him.
This Christmas, may each of us be able to become a guide by accepting into life this message given by the stars.
