Yesus dilahirkan di Betlehem, di Tanah Yudea, semasa pemerintahan Raja Herodes. Tidak lama kemudian datanglah beberapa orang ahli ilmu bintang dari Timur ke Yerusalem. Mereka bertanya, “Di manakah Anak yang baru lahir, yang akan menjadi Raja orang Yahudi? Kami melihat bintang-Nya muncul di Timur, dan kami datang hendak menyembah-Nya.” Apabila mendengar perkara itu, Raja Herodes berasa risau, begitu juga semua penduduk Yerusalem. Raja Herodes memanggil semua ketua imam dan ahli Taurat berhimpun lalu bertanya kepada mereka di mana tempat lahirnya Kristus, Mesias itu. Mereka menjawab, “Di Betlehem, di Tanah Yudea. Hal ini tertulis oleh seorang nabi: ‘Wahai Betlehem di Tanah Yehuda, engkau bukanlah yang terkecil antara pemimpin kota utama Yehuda, kerana daripadamu akan muncul seorang Pemimpin yang akan memimpin umat-Ku Israel.’ ”

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.
It seems we’re all in need of a good hug, real connection, and something delightful to celebrate right now. Our prayer is that this Advent devotional will offer you and your family a way to connect, learn about the real Christmas story, and celebrate Jesus’s birth with new traditions, dinnertime stories, bedtime conversations, and family activities. We hope this Christmas “hug” brings beautiful memories to your home this Advent season!
