Advent Three - Christ for All Nations

 3) Bulgaria

Bulgaria in the Bible?  Yes, indeed, this is very tenuous.  The Slavs arrived in Eastern Europe in the 6th Century.  But in the New Testament days, Bulgarian lands were occupied by the pastoral horsemen of Scythian origin.  

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.  Colossian 3 vs 11

Interestingly, the Bulgarians are Slavs, and the word slave is sadly derived from the word Slav. 

PRAYER:  May all Bulgarians be free, as they realise the central importance of Christ coming to us as a child, and believing that whatever questions life throws at us, Christ is the answer.
