The TRUE Miracle

Regina's space

Anyone else ...



Would have died in a miscarriage

on the hard road to Bethlehem ...

Would have perished of disease,

being born in a public stable ...

Would have been among the countless infants

who were slaughtered in Herod's jealous rage ...

Would have grown up only to be

stoned to death as a heretic

for speaking the Truth ...

Would have drowned

in the storm on the Sea of Galilee ...

Would have STAYED dead when crucified.



But not Messiah ...

'The light shines in the darkness;

And the darkness did not overpower it.'

(John 1.5)



This year,

May you discover the true miracle of Christmas.



His name is Jesus.

VEILED IN FLESH, THE GODHEAD SEE.

HAIL THE INCARNATE DEITY!
