THE BETHLEHEM STAR

Scripture Reference

Matthew 2:10

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.” (ESV)

Personal Thoughts

It is estimated that the human eye can see about 2,500 to 4,500 individual stars at night. But the night of our Savior’s birth, one star, The Bethlehem Star stood out among the thousands of other stars. The star is the focal point but I was reminded in Luke 2:9, “the glory of the Lord shone around them [the shepherds]”. I do not know if the glory of the Lord shining forth was from the angel visiting the shepherds or The Bethlehem Star but I wanted the white rays of the star to represent that glory. The Bethlehem Star shines on us all and reminds us of God’s glory. May we too rejoice exceedingly with great joy.
