"THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS"
* It's a 'JOY' to Celebrate the Birth of our SAVIOUR and REDEEMER - JESUS CHRIST THE LORD.
* "The Birth of JESUS was revealed in Genesis and Fulfilled accordingly";
"It was GOD'S 'PLAN OF REDEMPTION' for Mankind, because HE LOVED us First and Consistently LOVING us through All the Generations".
1. The Nations Will be Blessed through Abraham's Lineage.
* In Genesis 12:3 -
"I Will Bless those who bless you, And I Will curse him who curses you; And in you All the families of the Earth Shall be Blessed.” and,
In Acts 3:25-26
"You are sons of the prophets, and of the Covenant which GOD made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your Seed all the families of the Earth Shall be Blessed.’
V26 To you first, GOD, having raised up HIS SERVANT JESUS, sent HIM to BLESS you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
2. GOD'S Covenant with Isaac ancestors only, 'NOT' with Ismael (because he is born out off marriage, to a Egyptian maid servant Hagar).
In Genesis 17:19 -
"Then GOD said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I Will Establish MY Covenant with him for an Everlasting Covenant, and with his Descendants after him".
* Our Celebration of Christmas should be a Reflection of Love and Selflessness taught by the LORD JESUS CHRIST; Loving, Caring, Giving, and reaching out poor and needy people is the real Christmas.
"GLORIFY JESUS through your Kindness, Gentleness, and Humbleness".
Amen!
Hallelujah!
Shalom...All Glory to LORD JESUS CHRIST
