Beyond Jesus, Mary and Joseph, no Nativity scene is complete without three wise men.  The gospels obviously speak of their presence and even tells how they found their way to Bethlehem.  But, have you ever wondered about that; what kind of star stays in one place for any amount of time?  How did they know  a King had been born?

Well, Stan concludes The Naivety series with some philosophy, history and even astronomy to show how God reveals Himself to accomplish His Mission.  And, we find out what the final part of the Trinity, the Spirit, gave us in Jesus’ birth on that first Christmas.

Jesus was God’s gift to us, and as was discussed in Part 1, God was excited for and anticipated Jesus birth because of the redemption it brought for all mankind.  But with His coming to earth, Jesus brought with him gifts of his own to leave for us…tools, if you will, that help put together the entire package.  Unfortunately, many of the tools have been misused and often times act as nothing more than pesky packaging that we discard to get to the good stuff.

Listen in to find out what Jesus gave us and how it should be used.

Each Christmas Eve, children across the globe find themselves tired and unable to sleep because of excitement and anticipation for what the morning holds…be honest, you remember the feeling, don’t you? Lying awake for what felt like hours, only to find out it had been minutes.  Then sneaking out to the tree to catch a glimpse at the packages with your name on it… In much the same way, God sleeplessly awaited for that first Christmas morning…even sneaking out to the tree to give a glimpse of the package he was sending.  From the very beginning and many times after, God foretold of the redemption through the Son of Man sent down from heaven…Jesus.

Join us as Stan begins The Naivety series with a look into the “hints” of Christ’s coming throughout scripture and how through those “hints”, God showed how much he desired our redemption back to Him.
