This Christmas many will see beyond the gay wrappings, the colored lights, the lavish entertainment, and the lovely gifts and will find the glory of Christmas in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. How is this possible?
Entering into the glory of Christmas is possible through a simple understanding, acceptance, and a resting by faith on what God has to say about the sending of His Son on that first Christmas.
GOD’S GOOD TIDINGS: “…behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born … a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:10-11). This message is personal- to you. It is vital-He came to be our Saviour.
GOD’S GREAT PURPOSE: “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10). Wonder of wonders- God not only loved us, but He sent His Son to put away our sins by His death on the cross.
OUR ETERNAL BLESSING: “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). Receiving Jesus Christ, by faith, brings one into the sharing of His untold riches both now and forever. How glorious! Just now God is offering to you His gift. Take the Lord Jesus Christ and enter into the glory of Christmas!
My dear friend:
Will you not this day acknowledge before the Lord that you are a sinner? Will you not believe that Christ, Who died for you, is God’s free gift of salvation? Will you not turn from my sin and receive Christ as your own personal Saviour? The decision is yours.
