What About Santa for Christian Children? How Should Christians Celebrate Christmas? Beware of Kwanzaa History's Greatest Happenings by Adrian Rogers God Manifest in the Flesh by J. Vernon McGee Why Was Jesus Born? Three Scenes in History: A Christmas Message by Cooper Abrams Remember Jesus Christ by J. Vernon McGee Why Did Jesus Come? Three Things To Remember When Celebrating Christmas! Matthew 1:21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 1) Jesus, God's Only Begotten Son, came to this earth born of a virgin; fulfilling the prophecy given in Isaiah 7:14: Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.. Fulfillment in Luke 1:30: And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 2) Jesus lived a sinless life. No sin or guile was found in Him. He lived a perfect life. Isaiah 53:9 says, "neither was any deceit in his mouth." Jesus walked perfectly before the Heavenly Father. He did only His Father's will. 3) The manger always points us to the redemption that is ONLY in Christ Jesus. The Lord Jesus came to die for us. His death on the cross paid the price for our sins. It was prophesied in Isaiah that Messiah would die for the sins of the people. Isaiah 53:10-11 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Because Jesus was virgin born, He did not inherit the sin nature that was passed down to mankind from Adam. Because Jesus lived a perfect life, He could offer up His own life as the perfect sacrifice before God for our sins. The blood that Jesus shed upon the cross washes all of our sins away. 1Peter 1:18-21 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed withcorruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Jesus is the spotless Lamb of God. He became the Passover Lamb. His resurrection proves that He is the Son of God and that the sacrifice He made upon the cross was all sufficient to redeem lost sinners. All who trust Him as Savior shall have eternal life. So the manger always leads to the sacrifice the Lord Jesus made upon the cross for OUR sins. The manger also points to His glorious resurrection. Though Jesus died for us, He arose from the dead on the third day. We must not keep Jesus as a baby for He is seated at the Right Hand of the Heavenly Father, glorified and is our Great High Priest in Heaven. 1John 4:9-10 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. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Let us remember WHY the Lord Jesus came to this earth... to be the Savior of the world! Let us always be thankful for our salvation that is only possible through Him. Jesus came to this earth to die for you and for me and was raised back to life again. All who receive Him as Savior will live with Him forever . Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. If you want to know more about salvation that is only through Jesus, click here.

The phrase "Happy Holidays" is the commercial "new age" phrase in an attempt to take Jesus out of Christmas! Jesus, the Light of the world... Jesus, the joy of our salvation... Though we do not know what time of the year Jesus was born, how interesting it is that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus right about the same time the Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah-- The Festival of Lights. Jesus is the Light of the world! Jesus said in John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. John 8:12 I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jesus...The Jewish Messiah...the fulfillment of the Hebrew Scriptures. Jesus...Salvation is found only in Him. Jesus...He is coming back to the earth VERY SOON. Copyright © 2005-2007 Cobblestone Road Ministries All Rights Reserved |
