CHRISTMAS DAY!!

Celebrating the Birth of the Savior of the World!!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

It means we are loosed from the curse of sin and of trying to keep a set of rules and regulations.

It means that because He Lives, we can have Eternal Life with Jesus and Abundant Life as we live on this earth!

John 3:16-17 (KJV)
16 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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

It means that in the midst of chaos we can walk in Peace because we have received the Prince of Peace as our Savior and Lord!

John 14:27 (KJV)
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

It means that even though we may be alone on this the most celebrated of days, we never have to be lonely because Jesus promised to never leave us alone!

Matthew 28:20 B (KJV)
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Hebrews 13:5 B (KJV)
for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

It means even though we do not know what will happen tomorrow we can Trust the one who knows everything to guide us and show us the way every single day!

Psalm 143:8 (KJV)
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Proverbs 3:5 (KJV)
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

It means though the world is filled with darkness, Jesus is the Light!!

John 1:4 (KJV)
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

It means Jesus is to us all that Isaiah proclaims:

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
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, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

His birth, life and death, brought us Healing, Deliverance, Salvation, Wisdom, Discernment, guidance, peace, joy and love.

What a Savior, how can we not celebrate and spend the day praising Him even in the midst of preparations, family, confusion and anything else we may encounter.

Jesus is the reason! Jesus has the answer to each question! Jesus has the solution to every problem!

May we understand that LOVE for each of us sent Jesus to earth as a baby to teach us how to live and then die in our place and defeat death, hell and the grave so that we can walk in complete VICTORY!!!

TAKE TIME TO THANK HIM TODAY!!!

I pray each of you have an incredible day, week and year!!
