Thought for the Day 12/24/2013

They gave him a manger for a cradle,
 a carpenter's bench for a pulpit,
   thorns for a crown, and
     a cross for a throne.
He took them and made them the
     very glory of his life.

-W.E. Orchard

Look to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,

  who for the joy that was set before him,

    endured the cross, despising the shame,

       and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.  

-Hebrews 12:2
