"And the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.'" Luke 2:10, 11
Jesus Christ is born! This joyous message was given by angels 2,000 years ago in the little town of Bethlehem in Israel.
Who is Jesus Christ? He is the Son of God; the Savior of the world; the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. But 2,000 years ago, He was born as a little baby. God was His Father; the Virgin Mary was His mother. It had been foretold hundreds of years before that the Messiah, the Savior, was to be born in the town of Bethlehem. "And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the leaders of Judah; for out of you shall come forth a ruler, who will shepherd My people Israel."
What the prophets foretold came true. For Jesus Christ came to earth to be our Savior. He could have come as a rich and powerful ruler, leading the armies of heaven. But He came as a little baby, humble and small. He was born to a poor family. He was not born in a palace, but was born in a stable. But from that stable was to come the most wonderful, and powerful, and loving, and wise person the world has ever known -- the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Let us come and worship Him together!
So, this week, let us pray and ask God to
- Give us a heart of love for others this Christmas time
- Help our volunteers and staff at Global Media Outreach to be always filled with His Holy Spirit and love and covered with His protection
- Save someone that we love this Christmas time
THANK YOU so much for your prayers.
May God bless you as we serve Christ together,
