    Only The Star Remains; Isaiah 63:7-9; Matthew 2: 1-18 The miraculous, glorious birth is over. The shepherds have probably left the birth-place to return to their keeping watch over their flocks. The friendly beasts that attended this birth, feeling the stir of excitement that animals feel when ...read more

    The people surrounding the virgin birth of Jesus were shaken in different fashion—whether they were moved to praise God, or stimulated into humble submission or was agitated or shook up to insecurity, the thing to remember is that around the time of Chris

    The whole earth shook not because of an earthquake; nor a meteor at a high speed hit the earth with a loud explosion.

Suddenly she realized that her son’s pudgy little hand was no longer in hers. Frantically she began to look around and then not finding him ...read more
