The cost of being a Christian?
We tend to think of Stephen the first martyr of the Church which is mentioned in Acts 6:8-7:60, but we forget that the baby Jesus with His Earthly parents to had to take off in the middle of the night!
An Angels warned the wise men to return another way, while also telling Joseph to go down to Egypt until Herod's term was ended!
So we can see many pictures about human life from the Christmas story and that we will be persecuted and attacked for our simple faith in the death, resurrection and return of Jesus our Lord and Saviour!
Matthew/Levi 2:11-15, Hosea 11:1.

Crib n Cross. Part-Two.
Born to Die.
The story of the baby Jesus, does not end after Christmas He grows up helping His earthly father Joseph the carpenter in Nazareth. We learn from the bible that He was a perfect child. John 6:42.
But Mary still had to clean up after Him, when a babe and toddler! He stayed behind in Jerusalem talking to the teachers of the Law. Luke 2:46.
But when rebuked He obeyed his parents. Luke 2:51.
The story of Jesus life is about doing what mum and dad needed Him to do, until His time was ready for ministry of healing and then He had to go to the Cross/stake/tree for us. Mark 14:21.
