Merry Christmas

“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”

When they departed, behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

It is our prayer that in the midst of your activities and celebrations during this Christmas season, you and your family rejoice “with exceedingly great joy” as you remember the One who was born King of the Jews and lived a life that led to His sacrifice for all mankind.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

The arrival of the Greatest Gift Ever Given was announced by the Angel to the shepherds,

“Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tiding of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord….” Luke 2:10-11.

We pray that each of us will continue to spread the GOOD NEWS as the shepherds did after they saw the Christ child. “And when they (the shepherds) had seen it (the baby), they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child… And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.” Luke 2:17, 20.

May each of us find true JOY in Christ and live this next year telling others about HIM!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each of our readers!

The fruit of having a Merry Christmas

We hear a lot about having a “Merry Christmas” as we enter this time of celebrating the birth of Jesus as He came to fulfill the plan of God for the redemption of mankind.

As we refresh our minds concerning God’s plan, love, wisdom, power, and glory we can’t miss having a “Merry” Christmas.

Being blessed by God as we are reminded of His wonderful characteristics of love, peace, joy, strength we are laying the foundation that permits us to have a Happy New Year!

A Happy New Year is the result of having a Merry Christmas. When we focus on the Word of God which enlightens us about the joy of The eternal One during Christmas we can look forward to a Happy New Year because whatever we experience in the year ahead will be faced with stronger faith and exciting confidence instead of dread and fear! God knows what we will face before we face it and prepares our hearts and minds to rely on His promises no matter what we face.

Luke reminds us of the attitude we should have as a result of the Good News the angel spoke about the birth of Jesus in Luke 2:10-11. “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.”

The results of what the shepherds heard and saw are recorded in verse 20: “And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.” Look forward to a Happy New Year as a result of the blessings of Christmas!

Jesus said, “All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”

Matthew 28:18-20
