Have you ever gone stargazing? It’s hard to do in the Seattle area because there is so much light pollution it can be hard to see the stars and often the clouds cover up the stars. But sometime you should drive out into the country and try stargazing, it’s so cool to see all the different constellations and the beauty of the stars. And stargazing has been around a long time. That’s what the three wise men who came to see Jesus did. Their job was to watch the stars. And they of course saw a very bright star, a star that was brighter than any they had ever seen. They followed it and found Jesus under the place where the star was shining.
Often times we put a star on top of our Christmas tree to represent the star that the wise men followed. It’s usually a six pointed star called the star of David. That star represents that Jesus was born from the house of David. So way up in his family line was King David, who was king of the Israelites. Jesus was born as a king, this is important because Jesus was born as a king on earth and he is our king in heaven!
