Long after the time of Adam and Eve a descendant of theirs was born who would prove to be a man of great faith in God, his name was Abraham. Once God tested Abraham telling him to travel to a distant land with his only son Isaac, and upon a mountain to offer him as a sacrifice. Abraham followed the Lord’s instructions and was prepared to obey when from heaven an Angel called to him not to harm the lad. Since Abraham was obedient God blessed him and said:
Abraham’s offered sacrifice of his son was symbolic of the future sacrifice that Jesus, the only begotten son of God, was allowed to make as a price for all our sins. One only has to be obedient through faith in Jesus to receive God’s blessing. |

One of the greatest leaders of God’s people was Moses, whom God used to bring his people out of Egypt where they had been held in slavery. In addition God gave Moses laws so the people could live in harmony and peace. Moses went on to accomplish many great things for his people, but he knew there was still one to come greater than he. Moses said to the people:
Jesus was the fulfillment of the prophecy of Moses, and he is also the fulfillment of the Law. The Law taught God’s people the right ways to love God and their neighbor. Jesus was to teach the same love only that it should come from the heart. |

The most loved of God, was David, another descendant of Adam and Eve, whom God chose as a mere shepherd boy to become King of all Israel. David loved God greatly and wrote and sang many songs of praise for the Lord. With his simple childhood and understanding of a shepherd’s ways to care, defend, and if necessary, give his life for the flock, David understood the meaning of shepherd. He knew God held that special position when he wrote:
Jesus would claim to be that Good Shepherd, willing to lay down his life for anyone who wants to believe, and be part of his flock. |

Another prophet of God was Micah, Micah was also given the ability to see into the future, where it was revealed to him the location the Savior of the world was to be born.
If one examines the Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments, they will find that all things in scriptures lead to Jesus. It is a book about his coming to the world in want of your love. |

Sometime after the birth of Jesus, in the city of Jerusalem, some wisemen arrived from the East, inquiring about the location of the newborn Messiah.
When King Herod heard about these wisemen, he asked the chief priests and scribes where this anointed one was to be born. They informed the King that the prophet had written that he was to come from Bethlehem. The King sent for the wisemen in secret to find out when they had seen this star. He told the wisemen to go to Bethlehem and find this child, and to report back to him that he might come and also worship the child. When they went to search for the child, the star they had seen in the East appeared, and led them to a house where it settled above. Inside they found Mary with Jesus, and they gave gifts and worshipped the child. The wisemen were blessed because of their search, and faith. |
