THE STARS OF CHRISTMAS

27/11/16

The Wise Guys

. . . and so another episode of The Stars of Christmas! We’ve been having an extraordinary time looking at the people who starred in the actual Christmas story. Each week we are learning that Jesus is the true Star of Christmas and following Him leads to an extraordinary life. This week we learnt how to have extraordinary joy this Christmas. This joy comes from giving instead of receiving. The Wise Men back in Jesus’ time knew this—but, then, they weren’t called the Wise Men for nothing!

The Wise Men gave gifts to Jesus because they loved Him and wanted to worship and honour Him. It brought them extraordinary joy to give.

Some things are really easy to give, and some things are really hard to give. God will always help us give to others. He will give us strength to give even when it’s really hard. This week, we can give to our friends, our family, and even our neighbours. Don’t forget that giving to others brings extraordinary joy.

Our Bible memory verse for this week is,

Acts 20:35

You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
