Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”John “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.Luke But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord.Philippians Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death— even to death on a cross.References:http://tlcmeyers.blogspot.com/2013/12/hanging-of-greens-christian-symbols-of.html____________________________________________________________________________Message us at [email protected] for questions or comments.
