A Christmas Fortnight:Day 1 A Word From THE WORD! #413

The Christmas Fortnight: I thought it would be nice to spend a bit of time up to Christmas sharing some of the joys of Christmas.  I’d like to start with the very reason that we celebrate this time of year, without getting into all of the debate about whether or not Christians should even celebrate during this time, I’d like us to simply share the ways that we celebrate Jesus.

Each individual must choose for themselves if and how they will celebrate Christmas.  I celebrate the gift of God’s Son, born of a Virgin, according to the scriptures,

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;

Behold, a virgin shall conceive,

and bear a son, and shall call his name

Immanuel.”  Isaiah 7:14

The promised birth of Jesus was the sign that God’s Messiah would arrive on planet Earth and meet the need for Redemption of fallen man.

“And she shall bring forth a son,

and thou shalt call his name JESUS:

for he shall save his people

from their sins.”  Matthew 1:21

God with us, to save us from our sin.   All for me and you—each a sinner!  How could we not rejoice that the God of the universe loved us so much that He had “Pre-planned” the solution for our sin even before Adam fell.  Oh, how it takes my breath away to know that I am loved that much; that Jesus restrained His glory to put on human flesh, to be born, live and die for me.  As the angels declared

“Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace,

good will toward men.” Luke 2:14.

Smile today—celebrate Jesus!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

Bible Ballistics: BBs #772   The Greatest Thing To Ponder!!!

 

Jesus IS the HEART of Christmas—for HE was, is and ever shall be the Son of God who came to “save his people from their sins”!  (See Matthew 1:21) He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died as the perfect “Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world” (See John 1:29) for all who will believe.  I share with you the greatest thing to ponder—what have you done with JESUS!

“For God so loved the world,

that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him

should not perish,

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son

into the world

to condemn the world;

but that the world through him

 might be saved.”  John 3:16-17

Have you believed? Have you received this “Lamb of God” who gave HIS life for your sin and mine?  He is still calling people to life!  The good news–Jesus came to SAVE us from our SIN!

“And she brought forth her firstborn son,

and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,

and laid him in a manger;

because there was no room

for them

in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds

abiding in the field,

 keeping watch over their flock

by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came

upon them,

and the glory of the Lord shone

round about them:

and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them,

Fear not:

for, behold, I bring you good tidings

of great joy,

which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you

 is born this day in the city of David

a Saviour,

which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you;

Ye shall find the babe

wrapped in swaddling clothes,

lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel

a multitude of the heavenly host

praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace,

good will toward men.”  Luke 2:7-14

Blessings on you and yours dear ones, and may you find the Christ of Christmas! He is faithful and has never failed me—ever!

“Let your conversation be without covetousness;                                      and be content with such things as ye have:

for he hath said,

I will never leave thee,

nor forsake thee.

6 So that we may boldly say,

The Lord is my helper,

and I will not fear

what man shall do unto me.”  Hebrews 13:5-6

MERRY CHRISTMAS—see you all next week, Lord willing!!!
