A KING IS BORN!
Everyone is talking
about the Millennium - the year 2000. But did you know that the
year 2000, means that it is 2000 years since JESUS' birthday? Yes,
it is true! How wonderful! 
Well, we are going to learn, now, about
the LORD JESUS being BORN. Our title is, "A KING IS BORN,"
because the LORD JESUS is our KING!
The story begins many months before JESUS was born, when some wise men, living in the East, noticed a new STAR in the sky, over their country. They were clever men, used to studying the stars at night, but they had never seen this one before. It was large and bright, and it was moving! "God is telling us that a new KING is to be born," they said. "Let us get ready to go on a journey to see this new King!"
Hey children, isn't it
GREAT that these wise men wanted to see JESUS? They were happy to
go on a long journey to look for JESUS. BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO
GO ON A LONG JOURNEY TO FIND JESUS, DO WE? Of course not,
because He is right here with us, by His Spirit. Isn't it
exciting?
If you have ever gone
away on holiday, you will know that you have to pack your case
and take along your clothes and other things you will need. Well,
the wise men had a lot of packing to do, because they would be
away for many months, looking for KING JESUS. They would have to
get their camels and donkeys ready too. Also, they would be
thinking about what they could take JESUS, as a present. What do
you give a KING? They were WISE to go to JESUS. We can be WISE
too and go to JESUS in prayer. We can tell Him we are SORRY
for our SINS. We can ASK Him to FORGIVE us. We can THANK
Him for dying on the CROSS for us. We can INVITE Him into
our Hearts.
PRAYER
"Dear Lord Jesus, help me to be WISE today and go to YOU. I am SORRY for my SINS. Please FORGIVE me. THANK YOU for dying for me on the CROSS. Please COME into my HEART and LIVE in me for ever. Amen."
