“So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.”
Luke 2:4-7 NIV
Jesus the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15).
The head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things (Colossians 1:18). Yet just a baby.
Thank You that we can know You, follow You now and into eternity. We pray for all those we know and love that they would come to know You and follow You. Bless each and every one of them.
In Jesus name we pray Amen.
I love this tune.
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love You, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there

Bless our world
