The Day an Innocent Man Died

When it was daylight, the barely recognizable Jesus was led to Golgotha to be crucified. Jesus became the Passover Lamb – the Sacrificial Lamb. His blood was shed for the remission of sins of the whole world.

Adoration

When Herod the king heard the words “King of the Jews,” he immediately feared a threat to his rule and was bent on finding the child. He had no intention of worshipping or adoring this child. In his own insecurity, Herod secretly planned to kill this King so He would not be a challenge to his authority.

Anticipation

When the angels were gone, the shepherds made haste to go to Bethlehem. “The King was born in a stable?” “I thought He would be born in a palace.” “I thought the trumpet would sound, but angels are even better!” the shepherds huffed to one another, as they ran to see the Christ child.
