We fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the <strong>joy</strong> set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2</p>
<p>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. Matthew 2:9</p>
