Why were are the 3 shepherds called the three wise men…

Why were are the 3 shepherds called the three wise men…

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way...Matthew 2:10-12.

 

They gave gifts to help a struggling family that a king Herod was trying to kill so they could be provided for and escape the snare. How much value could we learn from this wise move from the three shepherds…gave gifts that would supply a small fortune perhaps enough to raise Jesus…this is why people call them the three wise men which gave gold…frankincense…and myrrh. They also worshipped the young Child and they obeyed the warning of the God in a dream! Wise men indeed.

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Kindness...

 

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful...Luke 6:35-36.

 

Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love parades not itself, is not puffed up...1 Corinthians 13:4

 

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you...Ephesians 4:32.

 

Kindness is a language anyone can hear…see…and feel. Kindness is love…Kindness is forgiveness. Have you forgiven all those who done you wrong…yes or no? You find healing when you forgive. I found that saying a forgave them helps each time you remember the wrong done you because it puts it in the past instead of burying the hatchet and leaving the handle sticking out. So the next time you remember your brother or sister has done you wrong say to yourself I have forgave them.

 

Have you sought forgaveness from the ones you have offended…

Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother hath ought (reason to accuse) against you; Leave there your gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift....Matthew 5:23-24

 

Christmas is nearly here and many will see other family members…would it not be a good time to seek forgiveness if you have done someone wrong then why not seek their forgiveness this Christmas?

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us because we have forgiven those who have done us wrong…and please remind us of any we need to seek forgiveness from…and meet our soul’s deepest needs…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Fallen men and angels repent and forsake satan and any evil deeds…

Fallen men and angels repent and forsake satan and any evil deeds…

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat...2 Peter 3:9-12?

 

We which have forsook evil and been washed have this promise…

According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence (effort) add to your faith virtue (moral excellence); and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance (self-control); and to temperance patience (endurance); and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity (love). For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ...2 Peter 1:3-8.

 

We all (angels and men a like) have a promise we can repent before the world is burned up in judgement by God Almighty…even satan could repent if he so chooses…any soul can repent and forsake their evil. Jesus Christ died and was raised from the dead so any soul could choose to do right not wrong…there is a way and His name is Jesus. Jesus will help us grow in faith and virtue and many other areas in our lives but we have to trust in Him and obey His teachings.

 

Jesus said…And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned...Mark 16:15-16. Have you been washed by the cleansing flood…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please help us grow in grace and peace with You and Your Son Jesus Christ…and meet our soul’s deepest needs so we can have increased faith in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
