BIBLE READING

“What manner of Child shall this be?” Luke 1:5–14, 57–66, 80.

The little child greatly longed for—promised by God’s messenger—rejoiced over at birth—named “Jehovah is gracious,” not according to custom but with peculiar significance—grew in stature—waxed strong in spirit—God’s hand was with him.

“When I see a child he inspires me with two feelings: tenderness for what he is now, respect for what he may become hereafter.” Louis Pasteur.
