Using "Christmas Star," this activity encourages children to reflect on the journey of the three wise men in the Bible. The film depicts a man's quest to find the perfect star for his Christmas tree, paralleling the wise men's journey to find the star that would lead them to Jesus.

Why does this video fit with today's Bible story?

In the video a man is looking for the perfect star for his Christmas tree. He shoots one down from heaven, but that star is so big, that he and his tree fall down the mountain. Sadly he looks at his fallen tree. When he looks up, he sees that the whole mountain has become a Christmas tree with a giant star on top.

This video fits with the Bible story because the three wise men follow a star and realize that God Himself has brought the greatest Light on earth, in the form of a fragile baby. This baby was going to have a much greater impact that the wise men could ever have known, just like the giant star has a much greater impact than just to be a star on his Christmas tree.
