Where Is The Star Of Bethlehem Today?

Wise men from the East were lead to where Jesus the Christ was born according to Biblical accounts and history.

They were lead by a Star, a Star now commonly called the Star of Bethlehem.

This Star was no ordinary Star, it was a celestial phenomenon that shore by day and shore by night!

It is a moving Star, its brightness and movement was communicating to the Magi on earth, it lead them to where the Messiah is.

Its brightness and movement was a language, a heavenly communication.

It shows this Star was not like the others, it was a living Star!

Astronomical wonders like the Star of Bethlehem amaze us, as they are usually once in a generation or once in a lifetime occurrences.

It begs the question- where is that Star today, where is the Star of Bethlehem and why don't we see it in the heavens or sky like the wise men from the East did when Jesus was on earth?

Humanity still spots comets, planets, shooting stars, supernovas and observe celestial wonders today. We note changes in the heavens, we observe the lights and marvel at unusual sights when they come up, thanks to astronomical tools and technological advancement.

The heavens have always interested humanity right from ancient times.

The Biblical account of the Magi and the Star of Bethlehem is proof of this.

The Star of Bethlehem is actually the Star of Jesus! It is the Messiah's Star! It is the Star of Jesus Christ!

As that Star was an astronomical spectacle and celestial wonder we see that till date Jesus Christ is a wonder, a marvel, a spectacle from generation to generation and He will remain that and more throughout eternity!

The Star of Jesus was announcing His destiny, and the Magi from the East were wise enough to read His Star which they were spellbound by.

They were wise enough to look up and understand what the Star of Jesus was communicating.

No wonder they knew the gifts to present young Jesus.

From His star, they gathered He is a King, a Priest, and a suffering Servant.

That's why they presented Him gifts revealing the prophetic dimensions of His destiny.

It was all part of divine plan.

The wise men presented Him with gold, frankincense and myrrh.

The gold represents the kingship and leadership of Jesus Christ.

The frankincense represents the priesthood and ministry of Jesus Christ.

While the myrrh represents the servanthood and suffering of Jesus Christ.

They were symbolic and meaningful gifts.

So where is this living, communicating, moving and shining celestial wonder today?

Why don't we see it when we look into the heavens with our naked eyes, our binoculars, our telescopes and smart phone apps?

Why don't astronomists and astrologists see it today as they study the heavenlies and study constellations?

Was the purpose of the Star of Bethlehem just for the period of leading to Magi (wise men) to where Jesus was?

Is it hidden away?

Has its changed location?

Did God the Father summon it and hide it away since He summons stars and calls them by name?

Why hasn't it been spotted in the skies in over a 2000 year period since Jesus came?

The Star of Jesus Christ, known as the Star of Bethlehem has changed location from the visible eye.

While we do not see it with the visible eye it can be seen with spiritual eyes.

It can be seen with the eye of faith!

Much like the person the Star is all about, Jesus the Christ. We don't see him with our naked eyes in most cases but He is living, real and around.

His Star is the same, it is with Him, they are one, they are aligned.

Jesus is alive, He exists and He is within the believer today.

The Star of Bethlehem is real, alive and within the believer.

That Star is the morning Star, also called the Day Star that rises in the heart of the believer.

The Star of Jesus Christ is in the heart of the born again Christian.

It is one of the chief treasures within us.

It is one of the many treasures in earthen vessels within the believer.

"And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, 

to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp 

shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the

 morning star rises in your hearts"

 As your star in heaven is, so will your life on earth be if you are aligned with your star.

It is important to be aligned!

Your star is you and you are your star!

Your star announces your destiny.

It is time to shine!

 "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"
