Merry Christmas To You!!! A Word from THE WORD!!! #307
We, my husband and I, wish you a Merry Christmas. May the joys of the Lord bring you peace as you bow before The Christ child—not only at the manger, but at the cross where He paid for my sin and yours.
“For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government
and peace there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom,
to order it,
and to establish it
with judgment
and with justice
from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts
will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7
The King came to deliver us from our sin—but He will return to set up His kingdom upon His returns. Even as the angel told Joseph.
“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
And even clearer, God gave Mary and Joseph confirmation, when they took Jesus to the Temple, and I will abbreviate the passage here, but I encourage you to read all of Luke 1 and 2.
“…to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord…
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem,
whose name was Simeon; …
…and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost,
that he should not see death,
before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple:
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, …
…28 Then took he him up in his arms,
and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart
in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared
before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles,
and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled …
…34 And Simeon blessed them,
and said unto Mary his mother,
Behold, this child is set
for the fall and rising again of many in Israel;
and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce
through thy own soul also,)
that the thoughts of many hearts
may be revealed.
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, …
of a great age…
…37 And she was a widow … which departed not
from the temple,
but served God with fastings and prayers
night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant
gave thanks likewise unto the Lord,
and spake of him to all them
that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” Portions of Luke 2:24-38
And in closing, a reminder that this babe born to die for our sin, is coming again. It’s your choice what you will do with Him, but choose wisely, there is a test.
“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne
and of the four beasts,
and in the midst of the elders,
stood a Lamb
as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes,
which are the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book
out of the right hand
of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book,
the four beasts and four and twenty elders
fell down before the Lamb,
having every one of them harps,
and golden vials full of odours,
which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying,
Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain,
and hast redeemed us to God
by thy blood
out of every kindred, and tongue,
and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God
kings and priests:
and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels
round about the throne
and the beasts and the elders:
and the number of them was ten thousand
times ten thousand,
and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice,
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power,
and riches, and wisdom,
and strength, and honour,
and glory, and blessing.
13 And every creature which is in heaven,
and on the earth,
and under the earth,
and such as are in the sea,
and all that are in them,
heard I saying,
Blessing, and honour,
and glory, and power,
be unto him that sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb
for ever and ever.” Revelation 5:6-13
And Jesus’ own promise. Make sure you’re ready!
“Behold, I come quickly:
blessed is he that keepeth the sayings
of the prophecy of this book…
…. 12 And, behold, I come quickly;
and my reward is with me,
to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end,
the first and the last.” Portions of Revelation 22:7-13
Amen and Amen!!!
Merry Christmas, please don’t stop at the manger!!!
