Stories of Jesus



Luke2:8-20
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great bjoy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Stories of Jesus

Luke2:1-7
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Stories of Jesus


Isaiah 7:14
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 9:6,7
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Merry Christmas

Christmas is a time of hustle and bustle. A time of sparkling lights glowing all around, a beautiful Christmas tree decorated with memories of Christmas past. It is a feeling of anticipation, excitement, but most of all love in our hearts for those that are near and dear to us. All the anticipation of Santa and gifts cannot compare to the one gift that we celebrate, the birth and life of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. His is the gift we must remember. I want to share with you thoughts of our Savior this Christmas season that I found in The Friend
I hope you enjoy and that it gives you an opportunity to feel the love of Him whose birth we celebrate.

Christmas

I love this time of year. I love the Christmas lights and all of the decorations. The feeling of love and giving where ever you turn. I love putting up all of my nativities for all to see and enjoy. But, I don't think anything I do this year will compare to the celebration we had last year. It is a memory that I will treasure in my heart forever. Having all of my children and grandchildren around me was the greatest gift I could be given.
Here is a great place to go for ideas and the opportunity to get in the Christmas spirit, take a minute to check it out.
