ONE MORE QUESTION FOR ME TO ANSWER!
You find my Christmas story in the Bible in the New Testament in the book called Luke. Please read the first part of chapter two. You find there the story about the Birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and the story about the Shepherds and the Angels.
Paul Gerhardt is a well known German hymn writer just as Martin Luther. He lived from 1607 to 1676. And this is what he says in one of the Christmas hymns he wrote in the first verse: I
AM STANDING AT YOUR MANGER, O LORD JESUS.
You are my life. I come and bring and give everything you have given me. Take my spirit, my mind, my heart, my soul and my courage, and may everything be pleasing to you.
Paul Gerhardt wrote that Christmas hymn in the year 1736, when he was 29 years of age.
