9 Bible Verses-Birth Of Christ …

I write this post in the days before Christmas…

Days before the celebration of the birth of Christ…

Where I live…

It is a cold time of year…

A dark time of year…

We wait with hope for the light of the world…

He who lights the darkest corners of the valley of the shadow of death…

We wait in confident hope and joy…

Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he,
humble and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
and he shall speak peace to the nations;
his rule shall be from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth.

For waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;

he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom,
