Bearing With One Another

Bearing With One Another

  It’s not always easy, bearing with one another as we learn, growing in the spirit, just like it’s not always easy being behind the cautious, slow-moving driver in training.

The Magi/Savior relationship is so loving that it seemed noteworthy to post again (with a few additions). Enjoy!   Matthew 2 opens the door to turmoil. What’s new? Isn’t there turmoil surrounding the name of Jesus yet today?…
