LIFE QUOTE – ―Christmas is an end and a beginning. Jesus‘ birth marks the end of His nine-month development in
Mary‘s womb. Jesus ―became flesh‖—became a human being—at the moment of His holy conception (Luke 1:35). He
developed as we all did, except without sin (Hebrews 2:14-17, 4:15). Jesus‘ birth marks the beginning of His being seen
and dwelling among us as the Son of the Father ‗full of grace and truth.‘‖ Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of
Lutherans for Life This “Life Quote” is from Lutherans for Life–www.lutheransforlife.org
