Tonight we are supposed to be able to witness the "Star of Bethlehem"....it is an extremely rare occurrence where Jupiter and Venus align inside the constellation, Leo (it is said Leo represents The Lion Of Judah), and it will create a brilliant sight. There are a lot of interesting things to study in astronomy....especially in relation to what the Wise Men may have witnessed, what it meant to them, and why they followed it to find Christ. Many people believe what we will see tonight was what they saw nearly 2000 years ago and, to them, it signified the birth of a great king. I have been reading about it and fascinated with it in my free time today. Many Christians believe things like this to be signs in the heavens pointing to Christ's second coming....but, it is hard to know it to be the truth....though it is such an interesting and exciting concept.
My reading led me to a thankfulness for my redeemer and defender....The Lion Of Judah. We do live in a time where TRUTH is being attacked and mocked. We need to be faithful to the TRUTH, but we are not responsible for the outcome or the defense of it....we can lay that heavy burden down.....we are the lamb, remember? HE IS THE LION! We are to always reside at the intersection of TRUTH and LOVE as we await Christ's return. The goal of knowing TRUTH should be to use it to LOVE and the goal of LOVE should be to impart or lead another into TRUTH. That is where I want to be standing when He comes for me.
