“For to us a child is born, to 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. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end...” Isaiah 9:6, 7
This is the time of year when we celebrate Christmas — the time when Jesus was born!
Christmas can be a wonderful time, for it reminds us of the tremendous gift of Jesus Christ to us. God knew we needed a Savior, so He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be born in Bethlehem in Israel for us. Jesus was born over 2,000 years ago. It was a time when the Roman empire ruled much of the world.
An angel appeared to a virgin named Mary and said to her, “Greetings, you who are highly favored. The Lord is with you...Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High...The Holy Spirit will come upon you , and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:28, 30-32, 35)
This Son of God is our Savior Jesus Christ. Let us rejoice this Christmas — and every day of the year — that God sent His Son Jesus Christ to be born, and to live, and to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. You can have Jesus Christ as your savior today and always when we sincerely ask forgiveness of our sins and ask Christ into our hearts to be our Savior and Lord.
So, this week, let us pray that
May God bless you,
