Quit While You're Ahead!

When I devised this little

reading plan I just went 

as far into the Matthew readings 

as what seemed a natural stopping point. 

Matthew 2:15 

would have been a 

less messy spot.

But Herod killing all those 

children happened.

People during those times needed

to see prophesy fulfilled.

We have a *history* book they 

didn't have.

And we need to be reminded that

our salvation came at a price.

It was a priced paid by many through out

history but the ultimate

price was paid by God and by Jesus.

God sacrificed His

baby boy. 

Jesus endured 

death on the cross.

Lory's right, 

not everybody will have a 

Merry Christmas.

I wonder how merry

God's 

first Christmas was.

He knew where this story was going.

But, then again, 

He knows the big picture.
