THE DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED
Today's reading: Luke 2
Those of you who know me, know I have an allergic reaction to King James Versions of the Bible. I forget how to read when faced with the King's English, my tongue gets in the way of my words, and 'begats' and 'thous' are a struggle to put into every day conversation.
That being said, when it comes to the account of Jesus's birth--I'm King James Version all the way!
No one says it better than King James.
No other version causes me to pause and process the words.
Nothing brings me back to the excitement of my childhood and the 'pieces' I was asked to learn for Christmas programs.
There are no more suitable verses than these...
"And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:6-7 KJV
Jesus has been born!
Our Messiah has arrived!
Immanuel-God is with us!
