We Three Kings


Matthew 2:1-2 (ESV)
1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I’ll bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect Light

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia
Sounds through the earth and skies

I’m gonna need, gonna need some perfect Light
I’m gonna need, gonna need some perfect Light
I’m gonna need it

Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light (come on)
Let your light shine, let, let your light shine

Come on, guide us to thy perfect Light
Come on, guide us to thy perfect Light
We’re all gonna need, gonna need some perfect Light

So let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light



I hope that your Christmas will be great and that it will be filled with joy, with love, with peace, with goodness, with patience, with kindness and with gentleness. This is the fruit of Christmas, not the presents or the meal, but how you should think, feel and act.

Jesus Christ came and taught us all a new way of living, giving us Christmas everyday. And Christmas can happen everyday. Sure December is a magical month, where there are surprises around every corner. In December, we see beautifully lit house, bands assembled in front of stores playing Christmas music, and decorations all around. All of these things draw us to the warmth of the holiday. Don’t you often feel a tug in your heart when you hear a Christmas carol played over the loud speaker at the grocery store?

But those things really aren’t Christmas, well it’s not fully Christmas, because Christmas is in you at all times; it’s Jesus.
Jesus is who you feel when you get excited about something “Christmasy.” And it’s that same Jesus who resides with you as you read this devotional.


As we walk closer and closer with Jesus, his light in us gets brighter. When we make regular choices to turn to him throughout our day, we join in on Christmas. When we allow him to guide our thoughts and actions, we keep Christmas alive for another day longer.

Jesus did not just come so that we may have eternal life; he also came so our life here could be richer and fuller. He knows how broken this world is and he knows he is the only remedy. While you may know Jesus and follow him, you can never get too close to him. As you pursue fully immersing your life into his love and tenderness, you will see Christmas everyday, and then you will become a beacon of hope for this dreary world as you let your light shine.

Dear Lord, we are utterly lost without You. Help us to grow in the Fruits of your Spirit, the joy, love, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. Lord, we need you and we need Your light to penetrate all areas of our life and our heart. In the Name of Jesus,  Amen.
