Wattog here, this
time blogging about Christ’s earthly
life. Did you know Christ was probably the
first to say. . . don’t throw stones?
John 8:3-11
Oh, I found a lot of things about His life on earth that I think you will find quite interesting.
As I always say, this is a blog, not a
book, so please read the entire Scripture and the text surrounding
the Scripture to better understand the full meaning of the things in this list. I dug these things up in the King James version of
the Holy Bible and I've shortened & modernized the language a bit so you
can grasp these wonderful things a bit better. We are going to go straight to this blog's list. . .here are some of the wonderful things, certainly not all of the things, about Christ’s life while He lived here on earth. . .
