The birth of the baby Jesus marks a spectacular change in the history of this world from that point things were  totally different concerning  mans relationship with God. I have tried to find readings and carols that mention joy and peace. The birth, life and death of The Lord Jesus were planned by God in order that we might experience the joy and peace of knowing God in a real and personal way by having our sin forgiven and being able to live a life devoted to Him and then enjoy eternal life forever with Him in heaven. This is not just a feel good story it’s a life changing event that by trusting in The Lord Jesus Christ you can be accepted by God not in your own goodness but through His righteousness.

1Peter 1.8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

9  Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

 

47 Away in a manger.

Prayer.
