Christmas

“On coming to the house, they saw the child with His mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.” Matthew 2:11

Christmas can change your life! Just as Jesus Christ was born in a stable 2,000 years ago, so He can live in our hearts each and every day when we ask Him in.

Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! When He was born in the city of Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago, He was born to a poor family. The Lord of the universe chose to come to earth in humility and to live as a common person among us. He was born in a stable where animals lived because there was no room for them in the inn.

Yet this same Jesus is the magnificent Son of God who will someday return to earth in splendor and glory. After Jesus was born, there were wise men — sometimes known as kings — who came from the east of Bethlehem to worship Jesus. They were miraculously guided by a star, and came to Jerusalem where they asked, “Where is the One who has been born king of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” When they were told that it was prophecied that the Ruler would come from Bethlehem, they went there and found Jesus. When they found Jesus, they knelt down and worshipped Him, and gave Him gifts of gold and precious spices.

Even today, wise people still seek Jesus. When you seek Him, you will find Him when you search for Him with all your heart. This Christmas, I invite you, just as the wise men did, to worship Jesus. Invite Him to be both your Savior and your Lord. Even the kings of the earth will someday bow down and worship Jesus Christ. Let’s begin today!

So, this week, let us pray
  • Worship Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord each and every day
  • Ask God to bring people from all over the world to come to know Jesus Christ as Savior
  • Ask God to bless our staff at Global Media Outreach as we seek to reach more people for Jesus Christ
THANK YOU for your prayers. Just as the wise men gave gifts of gold and precious spices, let us give Jesus Christ our hearts and our lives this Christmas. Jesus Christ is the true meaning of Christmas; let us praise and thank and worship Him together!

May God bless you,
