"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord"

[Faith Presses On]

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Galatians 4:3-7

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:8-14

I always found it interesting that both Jerusalem and Bethlehem are both called the City of David.

It is interesting.

To redeem them that were under the law...

Now is a really good time to make a mental note of the image on the half shekel, just because.

I can't repeat the importance of it often enough.

But hey, who am I and what do I know? I'm not much of anyone or anything. I learned that as a very small child, so the identity kind of stuck.

I'm in the wilderness, a leper so to speak, 1000 miles from nowhere.

Thanks, Faith.

I’ve been thinking you were not posting, and now realize that while you have not been starting threads, you have been posting. It’s going to take me a while to catch up on months of your posts and replies to posts, but I will. I don’t like to miss anything you say.

Thank you! Yes, I have been commenting some pretty regularly, and haven’t done much posting in recent times. Have been occupied with other things.
