Jesus born in Bethlehem of Judea, the city was so named to distinguish the town of Bethlehem of Galilee, since Bethlehem of Judea is the city where King David was born during the reign of King Herod, also known as Herod the Great, a king extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, who ordered the killing of three children, several wives. Herod was not Jewish, or was Edomite Edomite, a descendant of Esau, was appointed governor of Judea by the senate of Rome and supported by General Mark Antony. The word of God said that Jesus born in Bethlehem, the city of King David. The date that Jesus was born no one knows for sure, but having Jesus born in Bethlehem of Judea, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, guided by a star. The Magi did not know the scriptures and at some point looked away from the star and ended up in Jerusalem, when they should be in Bethlehem of Judea. When we read and see the word of God or fail to follow the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, instead of having an encounter with Jesus, we have a meeting with Herod, and all those who want to destroy our faith or kill the boy JESUS, which often was just born in our hearts. The word of God does not say that the Magi were kings and also does not say their names, because the Lord is no respecter of persons, to God, when we accept Lord Jesus as the one and only savior come to be known as male and female servants of God. The word of God does not say whether they were: two, three or more wise, because the Lord is not concerned with the amount of people that love, indeed the Lord for true worshipers who worship him in spirit and in truth. Jesus Christ is the head of the church, the Magi represent all the people who are away from the work of God, which is not part of the new people of God, but who go to church with a broken heart, willing to have a real encounter and true to Jesus, desiring to know, seek and worship God in spirit and in truth. In Jerusalem the Magi asked: Where is he that is born King of the Jews. King Herod heard this disturb it, and all Jerusalem with him. When Jesus Christ is born in our hearts when it truly comes into our lives, they are hassled, all those who do not praise and glorify the name of the Lord, because now they have a certainty that the King and Lord of our lives is called JESUS CHRIST. The word of God says that the Lord has made us also able to be ministers of the new testament, not the letter but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, the spirit giveth life. The princes, priests and scribes knew the word of God in the lyrics, like a book of history or geography, and told Herod that it was planned that the boy Jesus born in Bethlehem of Judea, but as they had no revelation given by the Holy Spirit of God, did not realize the time they were living, did not notice the moment they both waited, did not realize that the boy Jesus had just been born. When we read the word of God we must pray and ask God that he give us His revelation, he talks us through his Holy Spirit and give us your guidance. Herod told the Magi, Go and search diligently for the child, and when you find him, report to me, that I too may come and worship. The word of God says, "Without faith it is impossible to please God, because it is necessary that he who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek. But there is the Herod of today, that when asked to go to church, who seek the Lord and act: Diligently, subtly, carefully, for you to think that his intention is to worship the Lord Jesus, but his true intention is cool their faith and remove him permanently from the presence of the Lord. The wise men heard the king and left, but followed the star that was always before them. THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD is always ahead of us, to guide us, to guide us so that we will not deviate from the path that leads to salvation and eternal life in Christ Jesus. But often we go out of the way, let us lead by our reason, we lose our way when we have to make a decision and only care about what we feel or think, and do not care about what God thinks or think of decision we make or the decision we are about to take. The star stopped in the place that the child was. The star represented the Holy Spirit of God. The word of God, referring to Jesus says: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek: He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and opening prison detainees. If you are a sincere and faithful servant to the Lord know that Jesus is present in your heart, in your life and the Spirit of God is also about you. The star stopped in the place that the child was Jesus, they had not seen the boy and they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Jesus will come back to get his church, we have not seen Jesus, but only to accept it in our hearts we live moments of great joy. The Lord Jesus left a wonderful word to his church, who have not seen Jesus physically present, but by faith believed and said, Blessed (Blessed) who have not seen and yet have believed. When Jesus is present in our lives, we can be unemployed, we can be patient, we may be going through struggles and difficulties, but the Holy Spirit comforts us, comforts us and even in moments such events in our lives we feel great joy, for we are sure that in time the Lord will extend his hand of power and bless us. The Magi were not part of God's people, but faced the dangers of the desert, traveling thousands of miles, spared no efforts to worship the one who had just been born in Bethlehem of Judea, and in their hearts. Often we are near the church we go to the house of the Lord to worship him. Jesus Christ is the head of the church. The Magi offered Jesus when they saw what they had better, more precious, they opened their treasures and offered, gold, frankincense and myrrh. The faithful servant goes to church with a heart with an open heart, with his heart for the Lord Jesus and offers what he has to better, more valuable, it gives your whole heart. The Magi were warned by divine revelation in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed by another way. The servant of the Lord when you accept the Lord Jesus in spirit and in truth, is directed by the Holy Spirit of God and get to walk the same path of Herod on the way and do not praise or glorify the name of God, because now he has the its main banner salvation and eternal life in Christ Jesus. And your song of victory is MARANATA LORD JESUS COME!
