Guiding Star

This evening when Bro. Nathaniel was preaching at the Church, a thought came on my mind. His subject was the Visit of the Wise Men (Matthew 2:1-12). When he was preaching that the star which led the wise men to Christ symbolizes the Bible that leads men to Christ. This idea came in my mind with some new points. They are given bellow:

1. The wise men understood that a King was born when they saw a new star.

People today also know about the King when they come to the Bible.

2. The star brought the wise men to Christ.

Today the Bible brings people to Christ.

3. There were many other stars - they weren't the right star which God gave to them.

Today there are many books - they aren't the Book that God has given us.

4. Among all stars, God gave only a bright, powerful, new star.

Among all books - God has given only a bright, powerful, new and fresh (never becomes old)Book.

5. All other stars would misguide them, if they followed them.

All other books will misguide us, if we follow them.

6. The star was incomparable and unique.

Bible is the unique Book, which is published, sold, delivered and read over all other books in the world.

7. When the wise men was unable to reach to Christ by using their own wit (for they went to Herod's palace to find Him)the star led them where Christ was.

We are also unable to reach to Christ by using our own wit. Only the Bible can lead us to Christ.

8. They were really wise men, for they found and worshiped Christ.

Today they are the real wise men, who find and receive Christ as their Saviour and Lord.

That's all I've understood. Please don't forget to comment and pray for me.
