The Chapel Quotes
“Jesus taught His followers, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” Jesus is not just a King, but He is a humble King. We need to have the same attitude and mindset. To do for others and put others first, to lower ourselves so we can lift other people up. Jesus took on the role of a servant, He took on human flesh. There is a connection between the cradle and the cross. Christmas took place when Jesus exchanged the highest of reality to take on the lowest, because we needed help, we were in desperate need of being saved. The birth of Jesus reveals to us what God is like, He is glorious and all powerful and He is humble. He has all the power of the universe in His hands and yet He is willing to stoop to the lowest of lows to be able to meet the needs that we have.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18
In the book A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks, the main character, Jamie, is diagnosed with leukemia. All her life she followed God, and because of her faith and the morals she adhered to, she was made fun of by many of the kids at her school. As time passes and Jamie becomes weaker and weaker, she finally decides to tell everyone about her condition. Only then do people come and apologize. With tears in their eyes they apologize for everything they put her through and ask for her forgiveness.
We all have moments in life when we say things about people or do things to them just because they are a little different from us. The problem is, most of us never apologize for our actions and our words, and we probably never will until something happens that makes us feel terrible. Whether people are dying or are perfectly healthy, popular or not, we should love them. God loves each of us, so why shouldn’t we love each other?
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to love all Your people for who they are and show love to them through my words and actions so that I may be more like You. In Your name I pray, Amen.

Mystery of the Magi: The Quest to Identify the Three Wise Men
By Dwight Longenecker
Regnery History, PB, 180 pages
We have all heard the age-old Christmas story of three wise men who traveled on camels to Bethlehem, bearing gold, frankincense, and myrrh to give to the newborn King. But how many of us have questioned the reality of this story? How many of us have looked on the magical arrival of the Magi as some sort of myth? Longenecker challenges his readers to change their view of this story by returning to Mathew’s simple account. Using historical evidence, he presents an argument to prove the truth of this part of the Christmas story and disprove the fantasy so often accompanying it.
Delving into the history of Mesopotamia, he investigates the origin of the magi, what they believed, and why they desired to come visit a Jewish king. He looks at the trade routes of the Roman world and the relationships between different kingdoms. He even discusses the appearance of the star, what it looked like, and why it held such importance in the story. With all of the evidence he presents, he backs up his argument and proves that Mathew’s tale of the magi is not fantasy.
