HE+ CAME, A BABE ~ HE+ LEFT, A SAVIOR+

HE+ came, a Babe 
~ HE+ left, a SAVIOR+

  First laid in Cave's manger ~ Last laid in Cave's Tomb

Woshipped by Angels ~ Hated by Herod

Shepherds Adored HIM+ ~ Pharisees Abhorred HIM+ 

Lifted up by Joseph, His+ Guardian ~ Lifted down by Joseph, His+ Follower

HE+ came, an Innocent ~ HE+ left even more innocent

Born a LAMB+ ~ Died a LAMB+

SON+ of GOD ~ Son of Man

The LORD JESUS CHRIST, 

the same . . . yesterday, today, and forever. 

Amen.
