A Christmas Meditation

- a weekly confidence booster to help you step into naturally supernatural discipleship and mission!
Prepare your heart to welcome the Lord Jesus with this short video guided meditation.
Hello and Merry Christmas!
Join Hannah as she leads a guided meditation, which will refocus your attention upon Jesus. This is a wonderful way to prepare yourself for Christmas and to recenter yourself in the midst of all the activity and busyness.
We know some people will use this several times over - today, on receipt, and then on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, as part of their devotions with the Lord.
We’re going to meditate on Matthew 2:1-12:
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
“‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
Now find a quiet spot where you can close your eyes and engage with Jesus as you listen to this video, and let’s be guided into His presence.
May you and your family experience the peace and presence of Jesus this Christmas, and may you step out to share the good news with lost friends and neighbors.
With love,
Alex + Hannah
