The Star of Bethlehem
Was the Star of
Bethlehem actually real?
Diverse theories include the present of comets, super novas
and even conjunctions of planets during the time the Magi visit King Herod. The
Kings Bible said,
"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem
in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem
and asked, ‘Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his
star in the east and have come to worship him’."
At school, I used to hear the expression, “Follow your North.”
Is this related with the Bethlehem Star?
I don’t know, but it is important to have a focus point.
While taking swimming lessons to improve my backstroke, the instructor
insisted to keep my eyes looking forward to a focus point, with the upper arm just brushing the ear to swim
parallel to 12 o’clock. It works to swim straight! It definitely works to have a FOCUS point in life.
May the reason of the Bethlehem Star be your FOCUS point!

En
el Evangelio de Mateo 2 en la Biblia de Reina-Valera dice, “Cuando Jesús nació en
Belén de Judea en días del rey Herodes, vinieron del oriente a Jerusalén unos
magos, diciendo: ¿Dónde está
el rey de los judíos, que ha nacido? Porque su estrella hemos visto en el
oriente, y venimos a adorarle”.
En la escuela, solía oír la expresión, "Sigue tu Norte". ¿Estará relacionado con la estrella de Belén? No lo sé, pero es importante tener un punto de enfoque.
Cuando tomé clases para mejorar mi nado de espalda, el instructor insistía en mantener
los ojos mirando adelante a un punto de enfoque, con el brazo superior cepillando
sólo el oído para nadar paralelo a las 12:00 como las manecillas del reloj . ¡Funciona
para nadar recto!
Sin duda es importante tener un punto de
ENFOQUE en la vida.
Que la razón
de la Estrella de Belén sea tu punto de ENFOQUE.
