]]> John Fornof john.fornof@gmail.com 12. Christmas "The Star, The Gifts, The Men" (Matthew 2:9-11) Far away in the distant East, a tiny band of wise world travelers carefully study the night sky. They trudge through the wilderness, mesmerized by an unusual star that gleams and glows ahead of them. The star actually seems to lead them all the way to Israel, toward the obscure town of Bethlehem. Once they arrive, they encounter King Herod in a spacious temple, and a little child in a small home. This little one has been prophesied to one day become a king himself, whose power will shake the kingdoms of the world, and whose wisdom will shine as a beacon to all men, for ages to come. The Light of the World...is here. Thu, 18 Dec 2025 20:10:00 -0000 full John Fornof Far away in the distant East, a tiny band of wise world travelers carefully study the night sky.
