Merry Christmas to you and your family MOTUS A.D.!
Merry Christmas and thank you for the wonderful thread.
May you & your family have a wonderful & BLESSED Christmas Day.
“Jesus is the reason for the season.”
Yours, TMN78247
And there were in the same country, shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night....”And this shall be a sign unto you, you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
These shepherds were chosen to have the Angel of the Lord appear to them with a specific sign from God.
These were no ordinary shepherds. They were keepers of the sacrificial lambs used in the Temple.
To make sure the lambs were without blemish, they would wrap them in swaddling clothes.
Thus these shepherds recognized and understood the significance of the Angel’s message to them.
It’s so cool how every time you read or hear a Bible quote you learn something new. Like when the Angel says “I bring you good tidings of great joy” It’s not only great joy. But it’s the ‘best part’ of great joy. Like great joy to the infinite power? Thanks for the thread. Merry Christmas to you too! And all of the great people of Free Republic.
Merry Christmas to all my freeper buddies. I don’t always agree with you, but I still love reading what you write.
Merry Christmas MOTUS. Keep the torch burning!
