CHRISTMAS
THE DAY OF
CONCEPTION
A Study of Luke chapter 1
I had intended to write about the course of Obia.
But, when looking it up so I could get all the dates right,
I found site after site with it all written out.
I decided it really isn't worth duplicating what is already out there.
So instead, I am putting a few of the many very interesting studies here
for you to go to and read for yourself.
I am also going to start a Bible Study
for those that want a deeper understanding.
We need to arm ourselves with truth.
When the non-believers hit us with their "facts",
we need to know the TRUTH,
so we aren't standing there without our armour in place.
Anyone wanting to contribute may do so.
But, to get to the main part here… should we celebrate Christmas?
You bet!
It is the day that a young virgin conceived our Lord!
It is the day that God gave his only begotten Son to this world!
It is the day of the greatest of all loving gifts!
So yes, let's continue to celebrate that gift!
Merry Christmas,
the day of miraculous conception!
PARALLEL DATINGS OF THE TIMES OF OUR LORD.
ON WHAT DAY WAS JESUS BORN?
CHRISTMAS SEASON SCRIPTURE
Sage Babe
A young and carefree lass agrees
to carry babe and heed world pleas.
The angel promised bliss for her
despite the pain, she would incur.
Those days when all the worlds went wild
to character of mom's first child
not joined in bond of perfect link
with dad who cares what people think.
Twis at a visit she now learns
of cuz Elizabeth s concerns
because her husband cannot speak.
Conception makes him seem too weak.
But soon the countryside would know
the prophet's message seed would grow.
Young Mary's offspring would save souls,
Elizabeth's helped Him with goals.
Maturity changed landscapes form
with wisdom's grace above the norm.
When justice moved from town to town
some neighbors deemed them quite unsound.
As Mary's offspring s seasons ripe
His cousin's fame abates in hype.
He knows his time is drawing nigh,
He never balks or wonders why.
So quietly, He meets the day.
And quietly He kneels to pray.
For one of His betrays Him there
with silver-shekels, coins of snare.
From there she learns upon the tree
by son she bore in agony:
Redeemer, Savior, God, her son
who comes to save, His job is done.
This young and carefree lass so young
agreed to surrogate God's Son.
A life of bliss now falls apart
her pain like darts runs through her heart.
