Journey to Bethlehem
Christ Jesus, who,
although existing in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
a thing to be grasped,
but emptied Himself,
by taking the form of a slave,
by being made in the likeness of men.
Truth For The Heart
Christ Jesus, who,
although existing in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
a thing to be grasped,
but emptied Himself,
by taking the form of a slave,
by being made in the likeness of men.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
“But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From you One will go forth for Me
to be ruler in Israel.
His goings forth are from long ago,
From the days of eternity.”
…for today in the city of David
there has been born for you a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.
“…a bruised reed he will not break,
and a dimly burning wick
he will not quench…”
And an angel of the Lord
suddenly stood before them,
and the glory of the Lord
shone around them.
Rejoice in the Lord always;
again I will say, rejoice!
“For behold, I bring you
good news of great joy
which will be for all the people!”
And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God
for all the things that they had heard and seen,
as it was told unto them.
