It doesn't matter whether or not December 25 is the actual birth date of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
It doesn't matter which or what type of manger he was laid in.
Nor does it matter where is the exact location of the inn or the type and construction of the stable where they stayed.
In other words, the particulars don't matter to God and neither should they matter to us.
It matters that we grow in understanding and appreciation of just what our Lord & Savior has done for us.
It matters that we learn to love and respect Our Heavenly Father, who loved us so much that he sent Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb.
The Christmas season is because of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of Our Father even now, praying and interceding for us till the end of time.

Priscilla Shirer Praises Jesus Christ
So many are ecstatic when they think they have finagled another way to God through some far-fetched ideas or obscure opinions but it can't be done.
We know that:
Jesus Christ is the only way to God,
The Only Door,
The Alpha and The Omega,
The First and The Last,
The Beginning and The End,
The Resurrection and The Life.
Let's praise him with American author, motivational speaker, actress, and Christian evangelist Priscilla Shirer! You may know that she is the daughter of Tony Evans and sister of Anthony Evans.

He Cares For You
Jesus has truly suffered it all. |
No matter what it is, you know that Jesus understands. He who suffered everything that you have and will suffer offers comfort in a way that no one else can. Though he may not have experienced what you have in the way that you did, he has truly suffered it all.
He suffered it for you. |
He did it for love, a special kind of holy love. |
Talk to Jesus and remember that it is our Father God who raised him from the dead.

Poetry: God And Son As One
How hard it must have been
For you to know, Lord,
That you are the Light of the World,
And to walk among hatred and blindness.
How hard it must have been
For you to live under
Being harassed and hated,
And to walk among
That determination to murder.
But you were determined
To enforce God's will.
Your Father, who gave you up
To a vicious world of dark haters,
Lived the horrific sacrifice through
And with you.

No Doubt Jesus Is Alive!
Happy Easter from Draw Nigh To Hope |
God loved us so much that he sent Jesus to die for us. |
He was separated from his Father for a period in time,
all for our salvation.
and how he submitted,
asked him to.
For God so loved us
that he sacrificed His Only Son,
so that whoever believes on Him
should have everlasting life.
that will carry throughout the

Remembering Jesus' Palm Sunday Journey
Happy Palm Sunday! |
We remember Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. |
Jesus on the donkey is a beloved Christian icon. |
Was he simply weary from a long, hot, dusty journey and in danger of collapsing? Whatever the reason, Jesus on the donkey is one of the many revered icons of Christianity. It symbols victory!
We honor Jesus' obedience. |
Jesus Christ gave his life for our salvation. |

How To Take Communion In Faith
I was reading I Corinthians 11:23-34 this morning and taking Communion. I began to think about the burdens that Christians put on each other about the Eucharist. The scriptures 27-33 seem to some to mean that we must go over, recount and acknowledge our sins before we can take part in the Lord's Supper. While it can be helpful to clear our minds of ill will, we can't ensure, through a few quick thoughts, that we are perfect.
In verses 28-29 we are encouraged to discern the Lord's body as we take Communion. We are to perceive that Christ's sacrifice on the Cross cleansed us from unrighteousness. We are to recognize that He is at the right hand of the Father always intervening on our behalf. When we remember, at the time of Communion, that the Blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is able to cover our transgressions, past, present and future, we have discerned the Lord's body. These are thoughts that we should enjoy daily.
We can read the Bible daily and pray with sincerity so that the cleansing power of prayer and the transformational power of the Word is continually converting us. This will help us to exist in a state of discerning the body of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Take Communion with faith. Don't be afraid.
