Friday Week 15

That same night, in amongst the other stars, suddenly a bright new star appeared. Of all the stars in the dark vaulted heaves, this one shone clearer. It blazed in the night and made the other stars pale beside it.

God put it there when his baby Son was born - to be like a spotlight. Shining on him. Lighting up the darkness. Showing people the way to him.

You see, God was like a new daddy - he couldn't keep the good news to himself. He'd been waiting all these long years for this moment, and now he wanted to tell everyone...

[Because] This baby would be like that bright star shining in the sky that night. A Light to light up the whole world. Chasing away darkness. Helping people to see. And the darker the night got, the brighter the star would shine.
