The Greatest Story Ever Told

Wise men 1 says, "The ancients said this star would appear*"
Wise men 2 says, "it means the King of the Jews is born."
Wise men 3 says, "We must send an envoy to worship Him."

*Numbers 24:17

A great caravan was prepared and it would be a long and dangerous journey. The wise men followed the star, bringing gifts, but let's go back to the beginning. Before earth was formed, a great plan was set in motion, involving you! In outer space was a power source composed of three distinct personalities- the holy scriptures call them the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost (God the Holy Spirit). 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (KJV) The Word created the universe , The Bible says, " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made" John 1:1,3 "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..." John 1:14 This was the Great One the wise men were coming to see.

Around 700 BC the prophet Isaiah said: "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son...and shall call his name Immanuel." * Isaiah 7:14

*Which means, "God with us" (Matt. 1:23)

700 year later, Jerusalem was under the control of Rome... and the Jews begged God to send the Messiah, the Promise One.

The angel Gabriel visited a virgin named Mary, who was engaged to Joseph of the house of David, and said... "Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God."   The world would never be the same. Angel told Mary, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. Mary had never had sexual relations. Angel told her, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee...and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:" The angel told Mary her child would be called the "Son of God" Mary said, "...be it unit me according to thy word." "For with God nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37

Joseph was troubled until God told him in a dream to take Mary as his wife....Joseph woke up and took her and travelled 80 dangerous miles to get there in Bethlehem. That where Jesus would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:1-2) The reason why Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem is because Caesar Augustus decreed that all the world should be taxed, so Joseph went to Bethlehem to register.*

*Luke 2:1

Transformation

What does the Bible say about Transformation?  I found a good verse that defined of Transformation. "Change or renewal from a life that no longer conforms to the ways of the world to one that pleases God" (Romans 12:2). How do we know that a person who is transformed from Darkness to Light? The evidence of transformation within us is seen in the way we increasingly contemplate the identicalness and glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). if your body is controlled by the Spirit of God lives in you, then you are controlled NOT by the sinful nature. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). How can we be considered as children of God? We must be led by the Spirit of God. And it is through the power of God's Spirit that Jesus Christ lives within us. For instance of Transformed life mirrors the attitude of the apostle Paul: " I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live , but Christ lives in me. The life I...

The Greatest is Love

" But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us. " Ephesians 2:4 What makes love so amazing? For starters, it is what motivated the Father to send His only Son to die for us. Without love, there would have been no redemption. Not only would we be without love, but without the redemption that was precipitated by love, there would also be no faith, and no hope. You see, nothing else matters, without love. It is foundational for every other good thing in our lives. PRAYER FOR THE DAY Our Father in Heaven, Today many people forgot how to love another and today it is easy to criticize those close to me; but Lord, give me your unreserved love so that they may know how deeply I appreciate them through God's love. We grateful that our Father show His love toward world. In Jesus Christ's name amen! Thank you for your time to read this message and hope to open your heart and mind to understand what is the greatest is love. Have a blessing day!
