A-D-V-E-N-T
Today we remember the day that Jesus came to earth in the body of a new born baby. He came freely from his home in heaven, so that we could come to believe that He would grow to be the Savior of the world.
That little hard, straw filled creche, became His cradle!
The first photo is a picture of where they believe Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
Luke 2:7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them. (NLT)
This photo is one that depicts what the bed of the new born king was laid to sleep!
A Star, A Star - the Shepherds saw the bright star in the east and followed it... The wise men saw the star and followed it.
We can look upon the heavens at night and see the stars and know that we can always be reminded of that great night over two thousand of years ago!
Matthew 2: 1-2 "Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking", 2 "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him." (NLT)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
