Matiuse 2:1-2

Christmas is a time to celebrate the greatest gift of all, Jesus. Looking at the story of Christ's anticipated arrival at Christmas reminds us that Jesus came to be the fulfillment of God's promises and faithfulness. All our hopes and prayers are answered in the presence of Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us.

There’s something special about Christmas that tends to bring out the best in all of us. We’re usually kinder, more generous, and spend more time with those we love. But what if it didn’t have to end in December? What if we could celebrate Christmas every day?

The Christmas story is one surprise after another. But sometimes the details become so familiar that they lose their impact. These short prayer devotionals help you to dwell deeply on the most unexpected and significant event in history: that God himself became one of us. Each prayer is written by David Mathis, executive editor for desiringGod.org and pastor at Cities Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Role mágů ve vánočním příběhu rezonuje napříč staletími. Jejich duchovní i historický význam však převyšuje roli dekorací vánočních betlémů či náboženský portrét „tří mudrců.“ Podíváme se společně na pravou roli mágů, které si Bůh použil v rámci svého plánu vykoupení lidstva, a věřím, že celý příběh uvidíte zcela novýma očima.
