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.

Do your best then sleep in peace…God is awake…


To those who have been baptized remember…

  1. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory...Ephesians 1:13-14.


  1. And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life...1 John 2:25.


  1. 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...2 Peter 3:9-10

 

What a promise that we have the Holy Spirit to help us as a seal of the covenant with Jesus our Lord and God. We have the promise of eternal life and we know the reason why He has not come in Judgement is because He is giving people space for repentance.  What is repentance…it is a change of mind and direction. It is I will no longer follow my self but whatever you say Jesus a thus it is written vocabulary. A knowing the truth and the truth setting us free from liars and the perdition found through their lies. There are three promises given to those baptized I mentioned above…the seal of the Holy Spirit…Eternal life…and the wicked will be punished one day but God is allowing them a chance at repentance before punishing them in eternal torments.

 

Prayer

Father thank you for all of your promises please consider us the Christian and our ways before our children are taught lies do not matter…we know the truth will set us free…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
