Celebrating the birth of Christ at Christmas time

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

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.

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

May all my blog readers have a blessed Christmas and a safe

And Happy New Year.

May the Lord be with you and your family at this

Special time as we celebrate the birth of

Our Lord and Saviour the Passover Lamb of God and soon

coming King of Glory the Lion of the Tribe of Judah

God bless you all

I have added this Bible League daily reading to remind all who receive this Christmas greetings from us the reason for Christmas, the reason why Jesus was born. 

He was born to die on the cross for the salvation of mankind from their sins, so that they can live forever with Him and His Father in their eternal kingdom of heaven on earth.

The devotion had another scripture, but I changed the scripture to put in verses that are more fitting to this time of year that being the birth of Christ and how this came about.        

Luke 1:26-38

26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

 

Devotion

Such is the greatest gift ever! For unto us the Child was born, the Son was given to save the human race.

The Bible tells us Jesus Christ is the son of David. He is God’s sovereign King. Appointed, rejected, but a King who will return. Jesus is also the son of Mary—God’s supernatural child from a virgin, a divine birth of divine truth.

The Bible tells us Jesus is the Son of Man. The servant Child who suffered physically, submitting to the Father’s will and establishing the blueprint for love and obedience to God. Jesus is also described as the Son of God.

He is the only acceptable sacrifice that took the wages of sin away forever, the only Saviour who can lead us to eternity in heaven; and this child, this Son, will return to rule the world in His righteousness and justice to bring real peace on earth.

“For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death” (1 Corinthians 15:25-26).

To the woman at the well, Jesus (speaking of Himself) said, “If you know the gift of God and who it is that speaks to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you living water” (John 4:10).

The Apostle Paul proclaims; “Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15). Jesus Christ, born of a peasant virgin in a tiny obscure village, lived in humility suffering rejection, was handed over to His enemies, mocked and tried, beaten beyond recognition, and nailed to a cross between two thieves, laid to rest in a borrowed tomb, yet rose again.

He was loved and hated; but there has never been One who impacted the world so greatly.

It has been said that of all the military forces that ever marched or sailed, rolled across land or powered across seas, and all the Kings that ever reigned, and all the governments that ever existed – put together – have not impacted life on earth so overwhelmingly and powerfully as has the one single life of the humble carpenter, Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the greatest gift to this world. The gift of God for eternal life. Not only as the Child who came to show us the way of life and life everlasting, but also as the Man who died to complete the way, so He can return as King to reign in the way.

It is important to remember that we also learn these truths about God sending His son to the earth to save mankind through the Christmas carols that we sing.
