The Big News


Isaiah 9:1-7

6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.
Luke 2:10-11

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord.

Bee's Thoughts:

The birth of a child always brings new hope to a family. It signifies life, growth, learning, interaction, activities, etc.

With the birth of Jesus Christ, we have hope too. His birth was prophesied in the Old Testament and was fulfilled in the New Testament. The Child has grown up and has finished what He has to do on earth. He has died on the cross for sinners and has ascended to heaven, but will come again to bring those who trusted in Him to be with Him forever.

Christmas is God with us
Christmas is Jesus
Christmas is love


Dear Lord Jesus, thank You that Christmas is all about You. Help us celebrate this Christmas with You as the "Host"and not a "Guest". Amen.
