DO NOT make he mistake and GIVE UP on JESUS CHRIST! To give up on JESUS CHRIST is to give up on the SALVATION OF GOD is to give up on ETERNAL LIFE is to give up on the POWER OF GOD is to give up on GOD:

“[FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD, AND STEDFAST FOR EVER, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED, AND HIS DOMINION SHALL BE EVEN UNTO THE END]” (Daniel 6:26).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that [WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]” (John 3:16).

“For the [PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that [PERISH FOOLISHNESS]; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:18-19).

START, STAY and STEDFAST with JESUS to the END:

“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and [HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL]. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be” (Matthew 12:24-26).

“[HE THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS], hath one that judgeth him: [THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY]” (John 12:48).

“[NO MAN CAN COME TO ME, EXCEPT THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM: AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY]” (John 6:44).

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read” (Isaiah 34:16).

a passage of scripture from the book of Revelation

The LORD God sent the Lord JESUS CHRIST into the world to be the SHEPHERD for the CHILDREN OF GOD to REDEEM them from this earth on the LAST DAY before the WRATH OF GOD destroys FOREVER this earth (Matthew 24:36) (Revelation 11:18).

“Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name” (Jeremiah 33:2).

“Know ye that the LORD he is God: [IT IS HE THAT HATH MADE US], and not we ourselves; [WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, AND THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE]” (Psalm 100:3).

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. [HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES]: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

[YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL]: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

[SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE]: and [I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE] of the LORD [FOR EVER]” (Psalm 23:1-6).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “[MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME: AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE]; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [MY FATHER, WHICH GAVE THEM ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL; AND NO MAN IS ABLE TO PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY FATHER’S HAND. I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE]” (John 10:27-30).

“[FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK]; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“I am with you alway, [EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

A bible open to the 23rd chapter of Psalm.

This TIME REALM this heaven and earth is ALL VANITY, and it is ALL COMING TO AN END: To have LIFE is to obtain ETERNAL LIFE to be with GOD the FATHER in EVERLASTING HABITATIONS:

Human beings are VANITY and therefore, all things in this world are VANITY: “[MAN IS LIKE TO VANITY]: his days are as a shadow that passeth away” (Psalm 144:4).

“For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, [ALL THE DAYS OF HIS VAIN LIFE] which he spendeth as a shadow? For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?” (Ecclesiastes 6:12).

“The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, [VANITY OF VANITIES; ALL IS VANITY]” (Ecclesiastes 1:1-2).

“What [PROFIT] hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?” (Ecclesiastes 1:3).

To REPENT OF SINS, BELIEVE in and to FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY PROFIT under the Sun (John 3:16-18): “[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD]” (Colossians 3:2–3).

“[FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD]” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

“[WHAT MAN IS HE THAT LIVETH, AND SHALL NOT SEE DEATH]? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave?” (Psalm 89:48).

“[THERE IS NO MAN THAT HATH POWER OVER THE SPIRIT TO RETAIN THE SPIRIT; NEITHER HATH HE POWER IN THE DAY OF DEATH]: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it” (Ecclesiastes 8:8).

“If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14).

“[FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE]” (1 Corinthians 15:22).

“[FOR GOD] so loved the world, that he [GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], that whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish, but [HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]” (John 3:16).

“[FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH, BY MAN CAME ALSO THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD]” (1 Corinthians 15:21).

“[IF YE THEN BE RISEN WITH CHRIST, SEEK THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE, WHERE CHRIST SITTETH ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD]. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with christ in god. [WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, SHALL APPEAR, THEN SHALL YE ALSO APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY]” (Colossians 3:1-4).

JESUS CHRIST says: “[NO MAN CAN COME TO ME, EXCEPT THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM: AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY]” (John 6:44).

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. [I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU].

And if I go and prepare a place for you, [I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE ALSO].

And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Thomas saith unto him, ‘Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?’

Jesus saith unto him, ‘[I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME]’” (John 14:2-6).

“[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).

Cross radiates supernatural energy

Now that Christmas has passed what is next?

JESUS!

We must FOLLOW JESUS yesterday, today and FOREVER!

We must keep DAILY in the RIGHT direction FOLLOWING JESUS!

We follow JESUS CHRIST today, tomorrow and FOREVER:

“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8).

“For there is [ONE GOD], and [ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN], the man [CHRIST JESUS]: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6).

“[ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL], who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ” (Ephesians 4:5-7).

JESUS CHRIST, says: “[NO MAN CAN COME TO ME], except the Father which hath sent me draw him: [AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY]” (John 6:44).

“No man, having put his hand to the plough, [AND LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).

“[IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME], [LET HIM DENY HIMSELF], and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY], and [FOLLOW ME]” (Luke 9:23).

“And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38).

“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and [HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL]. [IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, LET HIM FOLLOW ME; AND WHERE I AM, THERE SHALL ALSO MY SERVANT BE]” (Matthew 12:24-26).

“I am with you alway, [EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

Jesus leading way to the LORD God in Heaven.

JESUS CHRIST is the most worthwhile GIFT in this world for he is GOD’S LIGHT AND SALVATION required to obtain EVERLASTING LIFE on the LAST DAY (Luke 2:30-32) (Matthew 24:36) (Revelation 11:18)!

Many of us are much worst off financially today than last Christmas due to the global coronavirus pandemic. However, we must remind ourselves that our life as a human being is NOT measured in the abundance of things we possess in this world.

Our Lord JESUS says: “TAKE HEED, AND BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS: for a man’s life [CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS] which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15).

On the LAST DAY when JESUS returns to this earth for the DAY OF JUDGMENT at the END OF THE WORLD NO AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THIS EARTH WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE ETERNAL LIFE TO SAVE A SOUL! The ONLY SAVIOR is JESUS CHRIST!

“For God so loved the world, that [HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], that whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish, but [HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE] (John 3:16).

“Forasmuch as ye know that [YE WERE NOT REDEEMED WITH CORRUPTIBLE THINGS], as silver and gold, but [WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, AS OF A LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH AND WITHOUT SPOT]” (1 Peter 18–19).

Now, therefore, as THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE THINGS THAT ARE ETERNAL IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST who died for us; for this purpose then WE SHOULD LIVE UNTO HIM AND NOT UNTO OURSELVES (2 Corinthians 5:15).

“[JESUS CHRIST] the same [YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have [ETERNAL LIFE]: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not [COME TO ME, THAT YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE]” (John 5:39–40).

“Therefore doth my Father love me, because [I LAY DOWN MY LIFE, THAT I MIGHT TAKE IT AGAIN]. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. [I HAVE POWER TO LAY IT DOWN, AND I HAVE POWER TO TAKE IT AGAIN]. This commandment have I received of my Father” (John 10:17-18).

“I am the resurrection, and the life: [HE THAT BELIEVETH IN ME, THOUGH HE WERE DEAD, YET SHALL HE LIVE]. And [WHOSOEVER LIVETH AND BELIEVETH IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE]. [BELIEVEST THOU THIS]?” (John 11:25-26).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, [IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING, HE SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH] (John 8:51). 

“[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).

“These things have I written unto you that [BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE], and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13).

“The LORD is [MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR]? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1).

JESUS also says: “[I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHAL]L not walk in darkness, but shall have the [LIGHT OF LIFE]” (John 8:12).

“[IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME], [LET HIM DENY HIMSELF], and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY], and [FOLLOW ME]” (Luke 9:23).

“[AS LONG AS I AM IN THE WORLD, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD]” (John 9:5).

“[FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK]; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“I am with you alway, even unto the [END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

JESUS is the only REASON for the SEASON of CHRISTMAS because to OVERCOME this world to get to the WORLD WITHOUT END we must BELIEVE that JESUS is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD (John 3:15-18) “The Christ of God” (Luke 9:20) and “Salvation of God” (Luke 2:30-32).

“[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD]” (Colossians 3:2–3).

“[FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH], by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, [EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE]” (1 Corinthians 15:21–22).

“[IN THE BEGINNING] was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:1-3).

“[AND THE] Word [WAS MADE FLESH], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of [THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER],) full of [GRACE AND TRUTH]” (John 1:14).

“[WHO IS HE THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD]? this is he that [CAME BY WATER AND BLOOD, EVEN JESUS CHRIST; NOT BY WATER ONLY, BUT BY WATER AND BLOOD]. and it is the spirit that beareth witness, because [THE SPIRIT IS TRUTH]” (1 John 5:5-6).

“He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

[AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON].

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

[THESE THINGS HAVE I WRITTEN UNTO YOU THAT BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE], and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:10-13).

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that [OVERCOMETH] shall not be hurt of the second death” (Revelation 2:11).

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that [OVERCOMETH] will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the [PARADISE OF GOD]” (Revelation 2:7).

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. [I AM THE ROOT AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID], and the bright and morning star” (Revelation 22:16).

“He which testifieth these things saith, [SURELY I COME QUICKLY]. Amen. [EVEN SO, COME], Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).

We celebrate on CHRISTMAS DAY the birth of JESUS CHRIST the “Christ of God” and “Salvation of God” (Luke 9:20) (Luke 2:30-32). “For [GOD SENT] not [HIS SON INTO THE WORLD] to condemn the world; but [THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED]” (John 3:17).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but [HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY], because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16, 18).

“[FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the power of God. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to [SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE]” (1 Corinthians 1:19, 21).

Do you BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST?

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23-24).

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation” (Hebrews 9:28).

God sent his only begotten Son JESUS to this earth for “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel” (Luke 2:32).

Jesus, our Lord, Savior and King who appointed the Apostle Paul to be the apostle to the Gentiles said: “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office” (Romans 11:13). “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?  For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen” (Romans 11:33-36).

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
