Manger in the Light of the Cross

I love Christmas! I love most of the trappings of Christmas–I even love fruitcake, but Christmas is not just about the trees, lights, presents, or even the family get-togethers. Beyond all these things, Christmas represents the great love of God for the world, manifested in the First Advent of His Son, Jesus Christ. The scripture says it so well, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 NKJV).

Jesus — Born a Man for Men

The world lay in the sway of darkness, sin, and death. Man’s journey from the Garden was marked by a trail of death and tears. Each tomb was a reminder of every man’s fate.

Old Shepherd of Bethlehem

Occasionally, I will do a one-man drama of a character as an illustrated message in church. This past Sunday I portrayed one of the old shepherds who heard the angels and had seen the Baby Jesus in the stable as is depicted in Luke chapter 2. I had not planned to record the drama but a church member recorded it on his iPhone and airdropped it to me. SO HERE IT IS!

Thanks for watching. Blessings to you.

Yours on the Journey,

‘Twas the Night of the Advent

‘Twas the night of the Advent, when all in the house,

Not a man was secure, not even his spouse;

Stories of the Torah were told with great care,

In hopes that Yahweh would be merciful and fair;
