A Christmas Message

Isaiah 9:6 says, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

The above scripture describes the most important birth in all of history - The   Birth Of Jesus Christ, True Son Of The One True God. They also describe who Jesus would become as an adult explaining why Jehovah God sent Him to earth. This special Christmas message will elaborate on the extreme importance of the birth of Jesus.

We will start by examining the humbleness of the circumstances of the birth of Jesus. Certainly, the God of all creation could have caused His Son to be born in a palace. After all, this baby became The King of all Kings! However, God's plan was to bring Jesus to earth in a lowly manager surrounded by animals. A most humble way to be born! Why? Jehovah God sent His Son to earth as a True Servant of all people - Jew and Gentile.

How did the True Son Of The One True God serve all people while on earth for three years? Philippians 2:5-9 says, "Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place." Jesus functioned in true humility as a servant even to the point of death on a cross. His obedience to The Heavenly Father provide a path to salvation, eterenal life and forgiveness of sins.

Is there a better time of the year to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If this is the desire of your heart, please pray this prayer with me: 

Jesus, I know that I am a sinner.
 Please forgive me of all of my sins.
 I believe You are Lord and
 that God  raised You from the dead.
 Please come into my life to be my Savior
 and grant me Eternal Life.
 Thank you, Jesus! Amen!

Have A Most Blessed And Joyous Christmas,
Frank
