For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
~ Isaiah 9:6
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold,
I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;
for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
~ Luke 2:11
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
~ John 3:16
Jesus is the Reason
Christmas day is here at last
With presents and decorations galore
The tree stands aglow
Twinkling like the stars in the night sky
A reminder of the that one blessed eve
Over 2,000 years ago
The angels appeared to the shepherds below
Telling the birth of Immanuel
He is the ultimate gift and Savior to the lost world
Born in Bethlehem, a lowly babe
Sent from Heaven above
God gave us His only Son to live and die
A sacrifice for all mankind
Though presents are lovely
And stockings filled with goodies bring a smile
Remember that fateful night long ago
He is the reason we celebrate
The magi came from afar to worship and adore
They brought Him gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh
The gifts we give to one another are thoughtful indeed
But the best gift we can give
Is the message of eternal life and love
Give the true gift of Christmas this year
Give the message of God’s mercy and grace
The promise of forgiveness of sins
A hope for an eternal life spent with Him
*****************************************************************************
God bless and keep you and your family always, and may you have the courage to share the love and sacrifice of Christ on this blessed Christmas day!
