JESUS CHRIST is the reason for CHRISTMAS! “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen” (Romans 11:36).
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever” (Isaiah 9:6–7).
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).
We celebrate of the utmost significance the birth of Christ for he is the Salvation of GOD. God sent Jesus to this earth for “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel” (Luke 2:32).
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him” (1 John 4:9).
We must DAILY take up the CROSS OF JESUS knowing that it is the POWER OF GOD unto SALVATION (John 3:16-18).
“For it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.’ [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 1:18–19, 21).
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). “To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:1-2, 10-11).
“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
[AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO YOU; YE SHALL FIND THE BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, LYING IN A MANGER].
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger” (Luke 2:8-16).
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).
“To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).
DO NOT gamble with SALVATION because on the Last Day there will be NOTHING on this earth but a Lake of Fire for Everlasting Punishment (Revelation 20:11-15).
Now is the TIME to REPENT of your SINS and BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST to inherit EVERLASTING LIFE on the Last Day in the World Without End in New Heavens and a New Earth (Isaiah 65:17-18) (Revelation 21:1-5).
“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8).
“For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen” (Romans 11:36).
“[WHEN THEY SAW THE STAR], they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:10-11).
THE SIGN of the COMING of JESUS on the Last Day will be in the EAST just as THE SIGN of the BIRTH OF JESUS was in the EAST (Matthew 2:10-11, 24:27, 39).
“[FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMETH OUT OF THE EAST], and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the [COMING] of the Son of man be. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:27, 39).
“So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors” (Matthew 24:33).
“[WATCH] therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).
“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8).
“For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen” (Romans 11:36).
We must ALL celebrate CHRISTMAS because of GOD’s Love to human beings who give us HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON that we may obtain the LIGHT OF LIFE required to for LIFE FOREVER in the World Without End (John 1:1-4):
“That whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish, but [HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15).
“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).
“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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17).
“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 3:18).
Now then, 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).
“Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).
