Star Of Wonder
Dec 20, 2020 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Revelation 12:1-5
Bottom line: The Christmas Star's message was seek Jesus, surrender to Jesus, and submit to and be saved by Jesus.
The Christmas story is explicitly seen in Revelation. John writes in Rev. 12 of signs (wonders) that take place among the stars of heaven. A woman clothed with the sun, her feet upon the moon, and crowned with 12 stars gives birth to a child. The symbols represent Israel giving rise to the Messiah and more specifically, Mary giving birth to Jesus.
These verses give us great insight with regards to the star of Bethlehem that led the wise men from the east to the west to find and worship the newborn King of Israel. What was this star? What did it do? How does it fit with Rev. 12? And who does it represent symbolically?
