~ The Innocence of the Lambs ~
Throughout history Lambs have been a symbol of Innocence. They represent Purity.
My Wife and I have been Blessed many times with being able to stay at a Cottage on a working farm in the Beautiful Highlands of Scotland.
We've been Very privileged to have witnessed many new Lambs being Born out in the Open Fields.
The Lambs are so Pure & Innocence, and they have an 'Aura' of Peace.
For a while they are Unblemished and as Pure as 'God Created' them to Be.
In modern day farming the farmer will often spray a coloured 'Mark' or number on the Lambs. This puts the farmers 'Mark' on the Lambs so they can 'Use' them in whatever way 'Suits the farmer'.
Back in the time of the Original Nativity, when a new Lamb was Born, the Shepherds would often wrap the Lamb in 'Swaddling Cloth' to Protect the Lamb from picking up any Blemishes or 'Markings' so that the lamb can be kept 'Pure'.
When Jesus was Born, he was wrapped in 'Swaddling Cloths' as a sign that He was being kept 'Pure & Innocent' without Any 'Markings'.
God's Original Intention when He Created humans was that we would All be 'Pure & Innocent'.
The 'Only' reason there is evil in the world is because the devil 'Deceived' Adam & Eve into eating from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and evil.
Ever since then the devil has been Deceiving people into 'Disobeying' God and the devil has put his 'Mark' on those people so he can 'Use' them in whatever way 'Suits him'.
The devil has done that in such a Cunning and Manipulative way that many people don't even realise that they've been 'Tricked' into Disobeying God.
Over thousands of years the devil has Tricked people into following him and his ways, and because so many people do it, then other people now see it as normal.
But the Truth is, there are Only 2 Ways to Live Your Life, the devils way (which is just to suit him), or God's Way (which is for Your benefit so you can Live a Joyful & Peaceful Life).
God is so Loving & Caring that He sent His Only Son to Save us from being Tricked by the devil. That's Real Love.
Jesus is 'Pure & Innocent' so that we have All got a Wonderful Example to 'Follow' of How to Live our Lives.
Jesus took upon Himself 'Your' Blemishes & Markings when He died on the Cross, so that 'You' can have the 'Innocence' of a New Born Lamb.
~ Positive Bible Verse ~ The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world". (John 1:29)

~ The Wisdom of The Wise Men ~
The Wise Men (also known as Magi) travelled from the East to Bethlehem, which would have been hundreds or maybe even thousands of miles.
There were No cars, trains, bikes or plains back then. Their main form of transport would have been Camels.
Horses & Donkeys were also available at that time and of course 'Walking with their own 2 feet' was a big part of the Journey, (they had no comfortable walking shoes, it would have been very basic open sandals).
There would have been No proper roads available for them back then and the 'Long Journey' would have crossed vast Deserts & Mountains with tricky and dangerous terrain.
The Journey would have taken months and possibly over a year, so they obviously needed to 'Be Prepared'.
For the Wise Men to have even Started a Journey like that, and then to have Continued until they 'Reached Their Goal' meant that they obviously knew the 'End Result' was 'Worth It' and was Something Special.
To have the Experience of 'Meeting Jesus' as the Goal in Your Life, means that Anything is Worth Doing to Achieve It.
You too can 'Meet Jesus' in Your Heart, Mind & Soul. 'Simply Set Your Goal'.
~ ~ ~
The Wise Men would have studied Astronomy for many years. They Clearly Understood the Stars, as it was a Star that Guided them to the place where Jesus was.
It's Clear that they had studied the Scriptures as they had a Good Knowledge & Understanding of the Importance of the Messiah (Jesus).
They were obviously Very Intelligent people.
Studying, Knowledge, Understanding and Intelligence are all Good things.
But that's Not what made them Wise.
~ What made the Wise Men 'Wise'?
True Wisdom can Only come from One Source ~ God ~.
The thing that made the Wise Men 'Wise' was their 'Commitment' to 'Follow Jesus' and 'Give Their Hearts to The Lord'.
That same Wisdom is Available to You.
~ Positive Bible Verses ~
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
(James 1:5)
~ ~ ~
As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.
(Matthew 9:9)

~ Wonkavator Faith ~
If you've ever seen the Original 1971 film of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, you'll know what a Wonkavator is.
If not, it's similar to an elevator, but with a Big difference.
In the film, Charlie does his Best to be a Good, Helpful & Loving person.
And at the end of the film Willy Wonka Rewards Charlie for being Honest & Loving by Giving him his entire Chocolate Factory.
He takes Charlie into the 'Wonkavator' and tells him why it's so Special.
“An elevator can Only go 'up & down', but a Wonkavator can go Sideways & Slant ways, Longways & Back ways, Square ways & Front ways, and Any other Ways you can think of “.
An elevator is 'Limited' in what it can Do, but a Wonkavator is 'Limitless'.
~ What type of Faith do ' You' have ?
Do You have 'Elevator Faith' that is Limited & Restricted, or have You got 'Wonkavator Faith' that is 'Limitless & Free' ?
Many people say they've got Faith, but when the time comes that they need to put their Faith into Action, they put Limits on it, they make up Excuses, they 'give in' to 'worldly ways' and they Loose their True Belief.
Many people have got Faith but 'Other People' put 'Restrictions' on it with 'Man-made' Rules & Regulations that 'Did Not' come from God.
But then there are people with Real Faith,
Limitless, Unrestricted & Powerful Faith.
These are the people who Achieve Great things for God. They're Willing to put their 'Faith Into Action' and 'Give God All the Glory'.
They Don't 'give in' to 'worldly ways' and they Resist the Trickery and Corruption of society Nonsense.
These are the people who God can Trust. These are the people God can Live Through to Achieve Great Things for Him. Their Faith is Solid and Unlimited. They have 'Wonkavator Faith'.
How do You get 'Wonkavator Faith' ?
There's Only One Way. By putting Your 'Complete Trust' in Jesus Christ, the Only Son of the Living God.
When Jesus died on the Cross to 'Set You Free' from sin, God gave Jesus 'All Power & Authority' over Everything in Heaven & Earth.
That means Jesus has No Restrictions, He is 'Limitless'.
Jesus does Amazing things, He performs Miracles, He Heals the brokenhearted, He Achieves things that people say are impossible, because Jesus knows that 'With God All Things Are Possible'.
Jesus simply said “Follow Me”. ~ That's All it takes, Follow Jesus.
He Will give You the Strength, Power, Wisdom, Authority, & Courage to Do Great & Mighty things for God.
He Will Show You the Way, the Truth and the Life.
And He Will Bless You with Peace that goes Beyond Understanding.
Jesus has Faith that is Limitless.
When ' You' Choose Jesus over Everything else,
' You' Will be Blessed with
'Wonkavator Faith'.
