ADORATION
OF THE MAGI

M A T T H E W
CHAPTER 2

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”

The star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and THEY BOWED DOWN AND WORSHIPED HIM. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.

NOTICE:

This Stained-Glass Christmas runs through Christmas Eve, but then I’ll be taking a break from posting until sometime in January--a date yet to be determined.

Those who frequent the Archive already know the next topic: CHRIST IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Back at ya, Mary-Lou!

[Hebrews 11:6]

may our Lord and Savior King Jesus Christ bless and keep you for doing so!

I trust He keeps me for better reasons than that, but I appreciate your sentiment.

Gorgeous.

Wise men still seek Him!

Glad that you are one of those wise men, Ben. Looking forward to an eternity with you....

[Hebrews 11:6]

You are such an appreciative audience, Alba!

Merriest of Christmases to you and yours.

[telescope115]

Dan, I wish you and yours and everyone here a wonderful Christmas!

I know I don’t write much, but I see your posts every day, and marvel at the work of many who created these wonderful works of art. Just as God worked his miracles through his Son Jesus, He has inspired many artists to create His Works in canvas, paint, and glass.

And He has inspired you to bring them here in a magnificent opus of faith and love.

THANK YOU, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[Hebrews 11:6]

It is my joy, Debbie, to bring it to you.

It’s a shame I can’t also illustrate your “Christ In Me” song collection.

Merriest of Christmases to you and yours.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, Pete.

I know you’re there, even without your comments—after all, astronomers use their eyes, not their mouths.

Merriest of Christmases to you!

[Montana_Sam]

God bless you, Dan! The pictorials you post are magnificent and a welcome addition to our world.

IMHO, stained glass windows are a metaphor for civilization: creating a stained glass window takes tremendous effort and time, but it only takes a barbarian an instant to destroy the window by chucking a few rocks through it.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good metaphor, Sam. “But an instant to chuck a rock, an eternity for God to clean his clock.”

But that’s why God created clear plexiglass covers!

Merry Christmas.

[Oystir]

Merry Christmas, Dan...and Happy New Year, too!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks so much--back at you!

Looking forward to another year in which to experience God's love and grace, and do my best to pass it on.

[Red Badger]

God bless you!!!!!

[Hebrews 11:6]

He certainly is, but it is wonderful to receive your blessing, Mike! You are my great friend and valued brother. Merriest of Christmases to you and yours.
