Life of our Lord by Charles Dickens

Life of our Lord 

by Charles Dickens

Between 1846 and 1849 Charles Dickens wrote The Life of our Lord;  The New English version of the gospels,  the story of Christ. He wanted to make sure it was in the language that his children could understand this was just for his kids. They were never published as a book and he made others promise they would not publish it either. Once they were all dead , a grandson , published it in 1934. It was never counted among his published works, millions and millions of copies. His purpose was simple to teach his children about the life in history of Jesus Christ to bring your tears of mercy and forgiveness.

Read it in one day that was meant to be read that way. He made  it easy to read and comprehend the story of Christ Jesus. Power of the scriptures I found it a good Christmas activity.

“It is Christianity to do good always, even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. 

It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, never make a boast of them or of our  prayers or of  our love of God, but always to show that we love him by humbly trying to do the right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of our Lord Jesus Christ and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes and enable us to live and die in peace.
