From the Cradle to the Cross and All That We’re Taught - Combined Service
December 26, 2021 • Rev. Becky Holland • Matthew 5:1–12
Jesus – we are amazed by your grace. Through you, all things were made, and in all things, we can discern your presence. Yet, you faced rejection, betrayal, and persecution from the moment of your birth, to your sacrifice on the cross, to this present day. You taught, healed, and went about doing good, and you accomplished the impossible. Forgive us when we forget the child in the cradle is the Lord of all the earth. May we be ready to welcome you as the Lord of our lives. Amen.
