When Jesus entered Jerusalem on a colt, imagine people all around Him giving praise. It was like a parade and Jesus was the main event.

Many centuries passed but this sign of the baby Jesus’s birth was not forgotten. People anxiously awaited the coming of their King.
Each time a woman has an abortion, she is committing murder. People go to jail and killed for this same act but they are getting off scot free.

I worship My Holy King, Jesus Christ. There is no one like You. You will never let me go. You are always watching over me.
Oh how amazing was His birth. I can never be grateful enough that God on High would come down in the flesh to rescue us from sin.
