"For millennia, believers, scoffers and the curious have wondered at the Biblical account of the Star. The Bible recounts unusual, or even impossible astronomical events at Christ's birth. For many doubters, the account of the Star is easily dismissed as myth. For many believers, it's a mystery accepted on faith. But what happens if we combine current historical scholarship, astronomical fact and an open mind? Judge for yourself..."

What this study provides is a fascinating portrayal of the beauty of God's handiwork in placing the planetary and celestial bodies in exact conjunction at the precise time surrounding the birth of Christ to guide men to worship the King. Not only is this a great apologetics topic, with many wondering how such a star as described in the Bible could really be true, it is a comforting thought to realize that God is in control of every molecule whether big or small. Jehovah is the One who created, sustains, and redeems mankind. And He is One who is now directing our history, human history, for His purposes. For us Christians, it is a purpose that is for our good in the end, which is comforting to realize with a God who is so powerful. That power is for our good, and not for our eternal destruction if we Kiss the Son lest He be angry. So...trust Him. Trust Christ and treasure Him as One who came from heaven to live, suffer, and die to pay the penalty for sinners. Rest and bank on the merits of Christ and not your own so that you do not meet a God who pours His wrath out on you because of sin, but instead meet a God who is like a good Father, giving you the inheritance of nations because He is King and His justice has been satisfied.
