John 20:21-23 Jesus said to them again,
"Peace be with you. As the Father has
sent me, even so I send you." And when
he had said this, he breathed on them,
and said to them, "Receive the Holy
Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they
are forgiven; if you
retain the sins of any,
they are retained."
Christmas continues …

Lord Jesus, today I am far less than the person I want to be or can be with your help. I ask today that you would be more and more the center of my life.

Guide me to all that is good, cleanse me from all that is not. Teach me Your ways and form
in me Your nature.

Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus,
asleep on the hay.
Children only!

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask you to stay
Close by me for ever,
and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children
in your tender care,
And fit us for heaven,
to live with you there.

Luke 1:26 ESV In the sixth month the
angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of
Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to
a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s
name was Mary.
![Page 15: Joys and Concerns. - Disciple Walk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042219/625a0ac9bbd7c767dc1cce25/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Luke 1:28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O
favored one, the Lord is with you!”
29 But she was greatly
troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.
![Page 16: Joys and Concerns. - Disciple Walk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042219/625a0ac9bbd7c767dc1cce25/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,
Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And
behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a
son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
![Page 17: Joys and Concerns. - Disciple Walk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042219/625a0ac9bbd7c767dc1cce25/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the
Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will
reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no
end.”
![Page 18: Joys and Concerns. - Disciple Walk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042219/625a0ac9bbd7c767dc1cce25/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” 35
And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will
come upon you, and the
power of the Most High will overshadow you;
therefore the child to be borne will be called
holy—the Son of God.
![Page 19: Joys and Concerns. - Disciple Walk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042219/625a0ac9bbd7c767dc1cce25/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren ...”
![Page 20: Joys and Concerns. - Disciple Walk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042219/625a0ac9bbd7c767dc1cce25/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
For nothing
will be impossible with God.”

Luke 1:38: And Mary said, “Behold, I am the
servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to
your word.”
And the angel departed from her.
Christmas begins now.

The Night Before
Christmas -
Brandon Heath
Empty manger, perfect stranger about to be born
Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn
We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth
No way to escape
In fear, no faith, no hope, no grace, and no light
But that was the night before Christmas
Warm hay, cold sweat, a mother, not yet
Praying godspeed the dawn
She looks to her man, holding her hand, they wonder how long
And the shepherds, wise men come to find them, and bow to a king
One star above shining on love
So bright it lit up the night before Christmas.
And the world didn't know mercy was meek and so mild
And the world didn't know that truth was as pure as a child
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
And the world didn't know redemption was sweet and so strong
And the world didn't know salvation was writing a song
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
Empty manger, perfect stranger about to be born

Luke 2:1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city.
![Page 25: Joys and Concerns. - Disciple Walk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042219/625a0ac9bbd7c767dc1cce25/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

6 And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered.7 And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

shepherds out in the field,

Message: The Night That
Love Was BornMark Schultz
Starlight shines
The night is still
Shepherds watch from a hill
I close my eyes and see the night
when love was born
Perfect child gently waits
A mother bends to kiss God's face
I close my eyes and see the night
when love was born
Angels fill the
midnight sky, they sing
Hallelujah, He
Christ our King
Emmanuel
Prince of Peace,
Love come down
for you and me
Heaven's gift
the Holy spark
to light the way
inside our hearts
Bethlehem through
your small door
came the hope
we've waited for
The world was changed
forever more
When love was born
I close my eyes and see the night
when love was born
