"Welcome to our World" 

Matthew 1:19 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows."

So what really happened? The scripture tells us quite a bit about Jesus birth. But, obviously not every detail. John 21:25 says, "Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written." Get it?  Got it! We should only claim that what was written in the Bible are the only things we know for sure happened. But the Bible itself says a lot more happened. The Christmas story has been embellished, sometimes overly so and beyond dramatic license. But, conjecture is appropriate as long as it completely jives with His Word. Many inspiring words have been written about His birth. In song and poetry too. Today I share with you inspiring words that Kim Shane shared with us in a Christmas card. Words from an Amy Grant song entitled, "Welcome to our World".

"Fragile fingers sent to heal us.           
Tender Brow prepared for thorns.           
Tiny heart whose blood will save us.   
Unto us is born! 
Welcome to our world...."

The birth of Jesus and His purpose beautifully portrayed. Hope this touches your heart like mine today, Pastor Fred
