OUR FREE AND FOREVER GIFT

OUR FREE AND FOREVER GIFT

According to the apostle of love, the gospel writer John, our HEAVENLY FATHER loved us so much that He quite willingly “gave his only begotten SON” that, believing on Him, we would have an eternal and abundant life. (John 3:16 – John 10:10)

Centuries before Christ’s advent, the eagle-eye prophet, Isaiah, foretold His coming:

Isaiah 9:6 (New King James Version)
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

As the CHILD that was BORN, he was fully MAN.  As the SON that was GIVEN, he was fully GOD.

As the CHILD that was born, he experienced hunger, thirst, pain, loneliness, isolation, indifference, sorrow, and even death.

As the SON that was given, HE IS The Way to Salvation, The Living Bread, The Water of Life, The Great Physician, The Burden Bearer, The Friend of Sinners, The Comforter, The Resurrection and The Life.

During this Advent season, let us celebrate the CHILD and the SON by fully embracing and sharing the good news about THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL…JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD and THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.  Rejoice…for He belongs to us and we belong to Him, henceforth, now and evermore.  Amen!

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
