MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We celebrate of the utmost significance the birth of JESUS Christ because he is the salvation of God (Luke 2: 25-26).

Believe in JESUS because God sent his Son to this earth for the glory of his people Israel and a light for the Gentiles (Luke 2:32).

“Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth” (1 John 5:5–6).

“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, Counseller, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. 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 forever” (Isaiah 9:6–7).

JESUS was sent to eath to be the SALVATION OF GOD.

We celebrate of the utmost significance the birth of Christ for he is the SALVATION OF GOD. This was made apparent by Simeon, a just and devout man in Jerusalem who it was revealed by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ (Luke 2: 25-26). When Simeon saw Jesus for the first time he said:

“For mine eyes have seen thy [SALVATION], which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel” (Luke 2:30-32).

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of [SALVATION] for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began” (Luke 1:68-70).

“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:1-2, 10-11).

“To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).
Christmas Nativity Scene

To BELIEVE in CHRISTMAS is to BELIEVE that the Word of GOD became FLESH is to BELIEVE that JESUS was born on this earth.

“[IN THE BEGINNING] was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:1-3).

“[AND THE] Word [WAS MADE FLESH], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of [THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER],) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

“[EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE], and [COMETH DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS], with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17).

“[BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND SHALL BRING FORTH A SON], and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. And she shall bring forth a son, [AND THOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME] JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:23, 21).

“[JESUS CHRIST] the same [YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “[I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE]” (John 8:12).

“[HE THAT RECEIVETH ME RECEIVETH HIM THAT SENT ME]” (John 13:20).

“[HE THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS], hath one that judgeth him: [THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY]” (John 12:48).

“[BUT I SAY UNTO YOU], that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof [IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT]. For [BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE JUSTIFIED], and [BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED]” (Matthew 12:36-37).

“[AS LONG AS I AM IN THE WORLD, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD]” (John 9:5).

“[I AM WITH YOU ALWAY], even unto the [END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

Sign of the BIRTH and RETURN of our Lord JESUS.

Before the birth of Jesus there was a STAR IN THE SKY IN THE EAST WHICH WAS A GUIDE FOR THE WISE MEN to find the place where he was born in Bethlehem(Matthew 2:1-2, 9).

Just as the star in the east was sign of the birth of our King, one day there will be a sign of the coming of Jesus Christ just before he returns to earth on the Last Day.

“[FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMETH OUT OF THE EAST], and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:27, 39).

“So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors” (Matthew 24:33).

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).

The irony is that this holiday season untold amounts of money will be spent on gifts to be given for CHRISTMAS, and yet, the FREE GIFT which was GIVEN by GOD has not or is not being RECEIVED by untold numbers of people.

Christmas Reason For the Season Background graphic

The journey of Joseph and Mary from GALILEE TO BETHLEHEM before the birth of JESUS the Savior which is CHRIST the Lord.

“AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

And Joseph also [WENT UP FROM GALILEE, OUT OF THE CITY OF NAZARETH, INTO JUDÆA, UNTO THE CITY OF DAVID, WHICH IS CALLED BETHLEHEM]; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered” (Luke 2:1-6).

“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).
