3rd — Xmas will soon be here. The day on which Jesus, our Lord & Savior was born. Let us all rejoice on the day that Jesus was born, for he lived on this earth 33 years working the way for our Salvation & then died one of the most horrible deaths that man could die — being nailed both hands & feet to a cross on a tree. Why shouldn’t we rejoice since he has done so much for us? He died that we might live yet he rose again & was seen by his apostles many times & after this he ascended to heaven. Where says He, “I will prepare a place for you.” So let us be glad & rejoice in the Lord.
