*Mary Did You Know*

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?

Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?

Mary, Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you?

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?

Mary, Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
Youve kissed the face of God?

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is lord of all creation?

Mary, Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?

Did you know
That your baby boy is heavens perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I am?

"Mary Did You Know" sung by Kenny Rogers and Winona Judd
Sung by Clay Aiken

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem

A Labor of Love

What a Firts Christmas

Cradle in the shadow of a cross

Where you there when they crucified my Lord

Philliapians 2: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

A BLESSED CHRISTmas to all my FRiends at FR.

Christingle

Read: 1 John 1:1-7

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. —John 1:9

Bible in a Year:
Zephaniah 1-3; Revelation 16

In the Czech Republic and other places, the Christmas celebration includes “Christingles.” A Christingle is an orange, representing the world, with a candle placed in the top of it to symbolize Christ the light of the world. A red ribbon encircles the orange, symbolizing the blood of Jesus. Four toothpicks with dried fruits are placed through the ribbon into the sides of the orange, representing the fruits of the earth.

This simple visual aid vividly represents the purpose behind Christ’s coming—to bring light into the darkness and to redeem a broken world by shedding His blood.

In John’s account of Christ’s life, the disciple describes Jesus as the Light of the world. He wrote of Christ: “That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world” (John 1:9). Not only did Christ the Light come to penetrate our world’s darkness, but He is also “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (v.29).

Think of it! The baby of Bethlehem became the living, risen Christ who has rescued us from our sin. And so John instructs us to “walk in the light as He is in the light” (1 John 1:7). May all who have experienced His rescue find in Jesus the peace of walking in His light.

Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in Thee tonight. —Brooks

The newborn Christ-child became the Light of the world and the Lamb of God.
