		THEIR JOURNEY

MATTHEW Chapter 2

1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

by GISLEBERTUS
"It is from a capital in St. Lazare, Autun, France.
It depicts an angel lightly touching the hand of a Magus,
who is slowly waking up. With the other finger,
the angel points to the star."

7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

"We Three Kings"

[left that other site]

Thank You! The whole album is on YT, but only that particular cd. (As you know, I have made quite a few more)

[null and void]

Hope so

[left that other site]

I’m glad you liked it! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Be expectant....

[spankalib]

Thanks Dan! Do you like it? Seems apropos for our times, yet, that was done @ 100 years ago.

The factories not 'smoking', the broken wall, the shattered 'pot'. I'd like to ask why is there no scale but the one money-bags is tilting? (No scale on the young girl's side (I had to use the fist/telescope to confirm it was a girl).

[Hebrews 11:6]

Abraham, Plato, Cicero and Luther would have recognized its evertrue message:

Ecclesiastes 1:9
What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Lyrics:

“We Three Kings”

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Glorious now, behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav’n replies

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, Jeff. Exactly as sung at the link by Celtic Woman.
