Cross Words: Christ is born in Bethlehem
Most of us are familiar with the birthplace of Christ.
“O little town of Bethlehem, / How still we see thee lie! / Above thy deep and dreamless sleep / The silent stars go by.”
“O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant! / O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!”
“Joyful, all ye nations, rise, / join the triumph of the skies; / with th’angelic hosts proclaim, ‘Christ is born in Bethlehem!’”
Indeed, He is. And we see the significance of this location in our passage this week.
Matthew 2:1-12 introduces us to the wise men. Your nativity probably has three. The Bible doesn’t tell us how many. But they do bring three gifts to Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh (v. 11).
