“For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, Who is Christ
the Lord.” So let’s DECLARE HIM today and not keep this good news a secret
to ourselves. JESUS is THE MESSAGE to be declaring.
On the night Jesus
was born, God was keeping His promises prophesied over the course of
thousands of years. The Messiah—born, as a babe in a manger, came in the
form of a man in order to deliver man from sin. God’s bold declaration of
LOVE was made in powerful proclamation and fulfillment. No one could deny
the reality of the baby in Mary’s arms. The truth remains:
John 3:16-17
For God so
loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17For
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the
world through Him might be saved.
Let us
declare and demonstrate that love today—Jesus is the GIFT to prove God’s
caring.
On the night
Jesus was born, hope was reborn into a dark and dying world. It had been 400
years since the prophetic word was fresh; now God’s visitation was fresh and
alive. God wants to be energetically and passionately involved with His
people. Some think He created the world and withdrew to leave us to our own
devices. NOT SO. God IS INVOLVED intricately in our lives. There is
absolutely no more personal involvement possible than to tangibly enter our
world by sending His own Son to be born in flesh and blood. God is saying
to those whom He created—I WANT YOU DELIVERED, SAVED, FILLED WITH HOPE and
LIFE! His message still brings deliverance, salvation, hope and life
today. Jesus is the LIFE God wants us sharing.
During this
precious time of year, let’s freely share HIM with needy people all around
us in a dark and dying world. Jesus—God’s wonderful GIFT—is STILL giving
today. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
