14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Palm Sunday

When Jesus entered Jerusalem on a colt, imagine people all around Him giving praise. It was like a parade and Jesus was the main event.

The Miraculous Birth Of Jesus

Soon after this visitation, the angel also visited Joseph. He told him to not fear his wife’s pregnancy for what she is carrying “is of the Holy Ghost.”

Unto Us A Child Is Born

Many centuries passed but this sign of the baby Jesus’s birth was not forgotten. People anxiously awaited the coming of their King.

Abortion

Each time a woman has an abortion, she is committing murder. People go to jail and killed for this same act but they are getting off scot free.

The Humble Birth Of Jesus

To Jesus I praise. In this Christmas season I give thanks for His birth. Everything that I cherish is all because He came into the world.
