"But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to
anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and
respect."
1 Peter 3:15 NRSVUE
THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
December 17, 2023
Christianity is the largest religion in the world.
Yet so many still do not believe.
And even those who claim to be Christians,
Often find it difficult to conceive.
Of a young virgin girl giving birth to one such as He.
Are you a witness to the holiness of this baby boy?
Do you believe He is the King of kings?
Are you a witness to His blessings, love, and joy?
As we wait and prepare to celebrate His birth,
And His second coming, our souls to win.
Are you a witness to His mercy and grace?
Do you believe He can wash away your sin?
My soul is a witness for all he has done for me.
I give Him all the honor, praise, and glory.
Will you be a witness for my Lord?
And sing His song and tell His story.
