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.
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!
