We should have talked about the rest of the lessons a long time ago however time and workload didn’t allow me to talk about it, irrespective of that I would like to highlight it before the season passes completely and the holiday mood passes away. So in the lessons from this point onwards focus on how Christ came to be born to the virgin Mary and Joseph, in lineage of Kind David, in a small town called Bethlehem. The story of Christ’s birth says a lot and proves lots of prophecies and teaches us lots of lessons if only we will pay attention. Lets take a look at a few.

As powerful a king and mighty as Christ is he humble himself so much so that he allowed himself to be born in manager with sheep, we need to be humble as Christians, let’s learn from the savior himself. The holy nature of Christ would not permit his conception by intercourse, what this tell us is that holiness is an integral part of Christian life that should not be taken lightly or for granted. Jesus actually comes from the least of the families of Israel as at the time of his birth and yet he was and is the greatest of all Kings, what we learn from this is to never undermine anyone irrespective of their roots because you know not what his or her destiny may be.

I am going to leave it off her for the time being and hopefully we would be able to learn more from the bible as time goes on but until then, I wish each and every steemian a blessed day.
