The LORD with us!

The Old Testament predicts the coming of the Messiah many times.  More than five hundred times in fact.

This proves the fact that GOD is faithful to us.  GOD planned to give us a way to Heaven and that way is the Truth, the Life and the Way.  That way is Jesus Christ.  In the verse above, Isaiah foretold of the coming of Messiah and that was nearly eight hundred years before Jesus came.

In two days we are celebrating the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.  

As foretold, Jesus was born and lived HIS sinless life and then died for us on that Cross of Calvary.

Jesus conquered death and now sits at the right hand of our FATHER in Heaven.  HE stands in our place where we would be punished for our sins.  Once we have accepted Jesus as our Redeemer, we are justified through this marvellous grace given freely to us by our FATHER in Heaven.  We cannot earn this grace and we cannot work our way into Heaven. All we can do is stand in awe of our Saviour and celebrate HIS birth, life, death and resurrection in two days time.  

But we need to do this in the right way.  Christmas is not about gifts and money.  It is about the love of our FATHER for us.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  I humbly accept the free gift of salvation.  Help me to celebrate the birth of Jesus in a way that brings all the glory to YOU.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay gratefully Jesus Blessed today!
