Star of Bethlehem
some say it could have been a planetary conjunction
Jupiter, for the King Saturn, for His beauty Mars, for the Judge Venus, for His Light Mercury, for our Hope
although magnificent but transient at best mere hours in extent what knew these men what hope had they what sightless faith to follow in dusty years a silent sign, yet glorious above their hear's desire
others say a super-nova or other stellar anomaly
Clarke tried that one trying to discredit God showing Him capricious callous and insensitive setting a world aflame to illuminate our Hope
I never liked that story not for its hate for God but for its immaturity its lack of understanding of the fight it fought
still others say it may have been a comet
such as which Constantine believing and conquering gained himself an empire Jesus, believing and obeying gained Himself a kingdom became the First of His brothers
and yet I am uncertain a comet, though spectacular would be insufficiently so to herald my Saviour’s birth
even so, despite all discussion and debate
Bethlehem’s True Star shines undimmed above all the world’s dark
