LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY

http://www.wisebread.com It's the dawning of a new year. I use the first few days of the New Year reflecting  on the events that happened in 2016. I ponder whether they good or bad.

Today, I'll share New Testament scriptures that will give details His miraculous birth. LIFE LESSON! GOD GAVE THE WORLD HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON! JOHN 1:9-13 9  That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. 10  He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11  He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
