LW Baptist

The Christmas carol says, “When Mary birthed Jesus ‘twas in a cow’s stall, with wise men and farmers and shepherds and all/But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall/The promise of ages it then did recall.” LW Baptist’s Sunday worship at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 4, reflects on the Emmanuel’s coming.

The prophet Daniel pointed to Christ’s birth 600 years before, while residing as chief over all Babylon’s wisemen. Knowing the prophetic Scriptures, he pointed them to Moses’ words, “a star from Jacob shall arise, a scepter from Israel” as well as Isaiah’s, “Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings.”

The gospel record states, “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the time of King Herod, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is the one who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.’” For more information, call 562-430-8598.
