Download or read book Christ Our Morning Star written by Magdalen Lawler and published by Pauline Books & Media. This book was released on 2012 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church's ancient hymn of Easter praise addresses Christ as the Morning Star-an image that heralds the hope of a new day. Sr Magdalen Lawler has presented a moving reflection on the Scriptural and artistic depth within 16 of Sieger Köder's paintings. This book offers a wealth of scriptural and artistic insight into the work of a contemporary iconic painter. When the Church's ancient hymn of Easter praise addresses Christ as the Morning Star, it refers to a natural phenomenon that occurs when the planet Venus appears in the east before sunrise. Sometimes it seems to be the sun as it rises in the sky. This image of the morning star brings hope of a new day and a new dawn. The morning star sheds a peaceful and gentle light which heralds the sun's rays. In this image we see Christ, himself, First-born of the Father, who brings his peace and hope to our darkened world. He shelters us from the rays of the sun and introduces us to the light in a gentle and tender manner through his simple birth of a mother chosen from our midst.

Download or read book Celebrating Christ and Christ s Power in My Soul written by Bryant Branch and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating Christ is presented through a collection of creative, poetic, and lyrical verses. The creation of Celebrating Christ is the result of a long road to my restoration. Although, I knew I had been saved in Christ after truly turning my face toward him, I felt incomplete because of the hold that negative impacts of my past behaviors had on my life. Along the way, God empowered me to meet the challenges I faced. Through praying, meditating, and journaling, I became grounded in faith as I labored through each obstacle to become a better and more responsible and productive husband, father, and person. For many years, I labored, and I journaled prayers, meditations, and songs, writing Christ and strength into my heart. It took many years for me to battle my way back to fulfilling a victorious life. Looking back, the true joy of this journey is that even though I was not perfect, Jesus was with me and carrying me. He carried me through all my struggles. When I graduated college in 2016, that joy gave birth to Celebrating Christ for my restoration and sense of dignity.
