According to the apostle of love and gospel writer, John, our HEAVENLY FATHER is so invested in us that He willingly "gave His only begotten SON" that we, believing on Him, will have eternal and abundant life. (John 3:16 and John 10:10)
Centuries before Christ's advent, 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, rejection, sorrow, suffering 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 Christmas,
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!
