Hello, my friends. Welcome to Follow Him Favorites. This is our last Follow Him Favorites

of the Old Testament year, and it's the time we say Merry Christmas to you because it's

our Christmas lesson. I'm here with my festive co-host, John, by the way, and John, Merry

Christmas to you. Hopefully you're having a wonderful holiday season. John, why don't

we give a little Christmas message? I can't remember if we've done this one before, but I

baby Jesus and the wise men coming and the shepherds here in the announcement, singing silent

night, which we all love too. It's a beautiful time. And I love singing those hymns about

that night when Christ was born. So level one. Yeah, level one is Santa Claus. Level two is

silent night level night. You know, I've heard someone say before, John, approaching the

Lord of the universe can be intimidating for some people, kneeling down and praying

to the Lord of the universe can be a little bit scary. And so every year he gives us a chance

to approach him as a little baby. It can be a little bit easier in their mind like Mr.

Krueger. Remember Mr. Krueger's Christmas approaching that little baby and expressing love

for that little baby can be something that you can do during Christmas, but maybe you can't
