CHAPTER NINETEEN
A soft coo, then a loud cry comes from the kingly Child. At this point, men dressed in apparel which is rugged and worn, make their way into the stable. The shepherds are drawn to the warm light of the little fire that kindles. This is the place where the One that has been promised is to be found.
“Whom are you seeking?” the woman asks. The humble shepherd gives an answer to the call of the woman. “We are here to seek the One, the One that was promised. For see, we were standing in the field, and in the brilliance of light spoke to us an Oracle of God. Saying that we are to find the Child promised by the mouths of the prophets through the ages and

that He is the true shepherd!” “So then, come in,” the woman responds.
The shepherds start to hum a hymn: Silent night, holy night, all is calm and all is bright, round yon virgin mother and child, Holy infant so tender and mild, sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace, silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing halleluiah, Christ the savior is born, Christ our savior is born, silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light, radiant beams from thy holy face, with the dawn of redeeming grace.
Jesus Lord at thy birth, Jesus Lord at thy birth, Halleluiah! Halleluiah! Halleluiah! Christ the Saviour is born.

In this graceful warm atmosphere, men from another world walk into the open space of the manger, three men dressed in a fashion that truly reflects wisdom. “Is this the One?” the wise man prompts the other one standing next to him... “Yes, this is the One,” the young shepherd boy speaks.
“We have come from the far corners of the earth to bring honor and praise to the One, even a King. Forsee, according to our calculations, we have seen the star from afar. It has been a long journey.
Surely now we know this night a King is born.”The three wise men lay their gifts at the foot of the crib: Gold for Kingly Rule, Incense – the sweetest fragrance known to man, and Myrrh, the taste of Kings, yet bitter to the belly.
