The star of Bethlehem pointed people to Jesus, drew attention to Jesus, and helped people find Jesus. This was a magnificent display of God's beauty and maternal nature. The star was a visual sign that God allowed to draw people closer. The star wasn’t just a bright star, as many think of it. It was a celestial phenomenon; it was a divine sign pointing to the arrival of the Saviour. Matthew 2:10 (NLT) captures this beautifully: "When they saw the star, they were filled with joy." The star witnessed God's favour and determination to highlight the most extraordinary act, or rather, the gift of Christ, who was given to all of humanity.
