Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23 With this phrase, Jesus Christ gave a clear picture and challenging description of the christian life. He begins by letting us know that this …
She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them. Luke 2:7 The highlighted sentence above have been in my spirit for the past few weeks. Understandably, it could be as a result of advent. Having …
