MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

Now the God of hope 

fill you with 

all joy and peace in believing, 

that ye may abound in hope, 

through the power of the Holy Ghost.

And the angel said unto them, 

Fear not: 

For, behold, 

I bring you good tidings of great joy,

Which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day 

In the city of David 

A Saviour, 

Which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; 

Ye shall find the babe 

Wrapped in swaddling clothes, 

Lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel 

A multitude of the heavenly host 

Praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, 

And on earth 

Peace, 

Good will toward men. 

Luke 2:10-14

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea 

in the days of Herod the king, 

behold, there came wise men 
from the east to Jerusalem, 

Saying, 

Where is he that is born King of the Jews? 

for we have seen his star in the east, 

and are come to worship him. 

 

and, lo,

the star, 
which they saw in the east, 

went before them, 

till it came and stood over 
where the young child was.

When they saw the star, 
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11

Wait on the LORD: 

Be of good courage, 

And he shall strengthen thine heart: 

Wait, 

I say, 

On the LORD.

And the earth brought forth grass, 

and herb yielding seed after his kind, 

and the tree yielding fruit, 

whose seed was in itself, 

after his kind: 

and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:12

 

He is not here, for He is risen . . .

 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 

 

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you 

 always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28:1-8, 16-20 (KJV) 

 

Happy Easter Everyone!!!  Have a beautiful and blessed day!

Happy Sunday!

Ye have not chosen me, 
but I have chosen you

 John 15:16

* * *

We praise God not to celebrate our own faith

but to give thanks for the faith God has in us.  

To let ourselves look at God, 

and let God look back at us.  

And to laugh, 

and sing, 

and be delighted 

because God has called us his own.

And all they that heard it 

wondered at those things 

which were told them 

by the shepherds.

 And the shepherds returned, 
glorifying and praising God 
for all the things 
that they had heard
and seen . . .

  
Luke 2:18, 20

Do you ever wonder what happened to those gifts the wisemen/kings brought to Jesus? 

Did Mary and Joseph use them to finance an escape?

Did they get lost in the shuffle somewhere along the way? 

Did they hold onto them until Jesus came of age and then step aside lovingly to watch him share it with those in need?

Were the gifts on prominent display in the rustic village home of a carpenter?

Or did Mary seal them away as a “nest egg” to be hatched upon Jesus’ marriage?

Did she leave the cross on John’s arm that fateful day, returning home to a hope chest wherein she had loving stored those precious gifts, only to hand them over to another Mary for the embalming of this precious son?

Did it ever strike anyone odd that the gifts foretold death? 

Has anyone ever gifted a newborn babe with embalming ointments?

Have you ever wondered . . . as I so often do?

Therefore let us keep the feast, 

not with old leaven, 

neither with the leaven of 

malice and wickedness; 

but with the unleavened bread of
