Isaiah 60:1-9
Arise, shine,
for Your Light has come,
and
the glory of the Lord
has risen upon you.
For behold,
darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but
The Lord will arise upon you,
and
His Glory will be seen upon you.
And nations shall come to
Your Light,
and kings to the brightness
of Your Rising.
Lift up your eyes all around,
and see;
They all gather
together,
they come to You;
Your sons shall come from afar,
and Your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
Then You shall see
and be radiant;
Your heart shall thrill and exult,
because
the abundance of the sea shall be turned
to You,
the wealth of the nations shall come
to You.
A multitude of camels shall cover
You,
the young camels of Midian and Ephah;
all those from Sheba shall come.
They shall bring gold and frankincense,
and shall bring good news,
the praises of the Lord.
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered
to You;
the rams of Nebaioth shall minister
to You;
they shall come up with acceptance on My altar,
and
I will beautify
My Beautiful House.
Who are these that fly like a cloud,
and like doves to their windows?
For the coastlands shall hope
for Me,
the ships of Tarshish first,
to bring your children from afar,
their silver and gold with them,
for
The Name of the Lord your God,
and for the Holy One of Israel,
because
He has made You beautiful

The Birthplace of Jesus Christ
Matthew 2:1-12
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea
in the days of Herod the king,
behold,
wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying,
“Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
6 “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly
and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the Child, and when you have found him, bring me word,
that I too may come and worship Him.”
9 After listening to the king, they went on their way.
And behold,
the star that they had seen when it rose went before them
until it came to rest over the place where the Child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
11 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary His Mother,
and they fell down and worship Him.
Then, opening their treasures,
they offered Him gifts,
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod,
they departed to their own country by another way.
Proverbs 4:23
Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life
Abba, Father,
