12 Days of CHRIST - Day 1 Christ is Born

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. It's filled with excitement, family, friends, trees, lights, decorating, fun activities, gift giving,and goodie making. I realized that I often get so busy during Christmas that I fail to remember the reason I really celebrate the holiday. . . Jesus Christ! He is the reason I celebrate Christmas. I celebrate His birth, His life, His atoning sacrifice, and His resurrection.

This year I decided I would stop, slow down, and take time to remember the reason for the season! So I am blogging about 12 Days of not just Christmas, but 12 Days of Christ!

12 DAYS OF CHRIST - DAY 1
Luke 1:30-31 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS."

"Behold the Lamb of God" by Walter Rane

I am grateful that Mary listened to and believed the angel, as did Joseph and the shepherds. Truly God does know all things and will make His will known to us. I'm grateful Mary obeyed the Lord and gave birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God!
