Luke 2:25-32

25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Good morning, one and all!

Today, by all accounts is Christmas Eve, and in the midst of all the activities going on in our lives, I really like to pause to reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ. Our lives were forever changed because He came. He made the difference in our world and in our lives - if we let Him.

I love this song that I just recently heard:

Changed by a Baby Boy

As sung by Ernie Haase & Signature Sound

Verse One

Joseph was looking for a place to sleep when

His life was changed by a baby boy

Mary had secrets that her heart must keep

Her life was changed by a baby boy

Chorus

They were glad (so glad)

So glad (so glad)

They were glad (so glad)
