#AdventWord #child

‘The stable lamp is glowing, and the CHILD is sleeping on Mary’s lap. This is the scene in many a creche in every corner of Christendom. Drawing near to Christmas Day is a bittersweet moment. Before we know it, this chosen CHILD of the bright stars will ride in triumph through the streets of Jerusalem to his cruel death.’
