My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Lisa M Samra, AT THIS LINK tells of the decorations she has for Christmas, … with nativity scenes from many worldwide countries, including one from Africa (see photo), reminding her that God came in a manger scene to save all mankind.
And that’s the message of Christmas, isn’t it; … that the baby Jesus was God’s gift to all mankind that you and me would ultimately have a way to be saved for God’s glory.
So, … on this special day, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all reading here; … and in spite of these troubled times, as David Archuleta sings, … ”JOY TO THE WORLD the Lord has come!”
