The Lord Jesus IS the GIFT of all gifts.
God made man.
EMMANUEL.
We do not celebrate this day to give gifts or to receive them; to decorate our homes or to feast on a sumptuous meal; to gather with family and dear friends; to sing carols or to do anything else.
While these things have it's place and in themselves are not sinful, when they become the focus, the priority or why you look forward to Christmas, then you, like King Herod and Caesar Augustus will miss the most awesome privilege of knowing the epitome of God's tender mercy.
JESUS CHRIST
SON OF GOD
ALPHA and OMEGA
SAVIOR
REDEEMER
THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH
THE ROOT OF DAVID
LAMB OF GOD
WONDERFUL COUNSELOR
MIGHTY GOD
EVERLASTING FATHER
PRINCE OF PEACE
KING of kings
LORD of lords
HIGH PRIEST
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP
BRIGHT MORNING STAR
LIGHT OF THE WORLD
BREAD OF LIFE
THE TRUE VINE
THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
THE WORD OF GOD
THE CORNERSTONE
DELIVERER
THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE
May you have a worship-filled Christmas!
