But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11)

Today we celebrate the birth of a very special person. Actually, the most special person ever.
He was so special that His birth divided human history in two parts.
He was the fulfillment of many promises given by God.
He was the only human ever who never sinned.
He was the one who never had any debt to pay, but He took our debt as His own and paid them all.
He is God with us. He came to show us God and lead us to Him.
So this Christmas I pray that you are blessed and that you may enjoy a wonderful time with your loved ones.
Most of all, remember the One whose birth we are celebrating.
The One who was innocent but was executed as a criminal.
The One who was humiliated, although He was a King.
The One who died for us so we could live. And rose again, and now we are able to enjoy a relationship with Him.
He did it all for us.
May we welcome him into our hearts, and one day He will welcome us into heaven, and we will enjoy eternity with Him.
Let’s celebrate JESUS! Merry Christmas!
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21)
AMEN!! Hope you have a very blessed day. [Wish I could see where you live and where and who you are visiting.]
Thank you, Joanne! I’m spending Christmas with my family in my parents’ house in the mountains. I’ll get some nice pictures and share them when I get back.
God bless!
