“Merry Christmas” By Justin March

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign.  Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14
 
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21
 
 
Christ the child has been born.  The waiting is over, the anticipation comes to a close, and Christmas morning is finally here.
He will walk amongst us and save our souls.  In human form, he will come to understand his people’s trials and extend grace.
Rest in the assurance that our Savior is here.  Have faith in the little child and the promises God has made.
Immanuel.  God with us.  He has promised to never forsake us and has given his only Son to save our fallen humanity.
Submit your life to the one true provider.  We do not have the power to make things right, so allow God to take the reins.
Thankfulness.  Give God the glory in everything he provides and trust in his will when life doesn’t seem to go your way.
Mary.  An amazing story about how God’s perfect plans can change the world.
Are you ready to be saved?  Jesus is now amongst us and ready to guide you along the path God has created.
Share the story with everyone you encounter so they too may be redeemed and find their way to the foot of the cross.
     It is Christmas morning, and the house is quiet.  It won’t be long before the excitement fills this space.  The children will awake, and the anticipation will be over as they unwrap those colorful presents.  It will be a joyful time as we share our love with one another and take a few days to rest and rejuvenate.  And as I sit here and send this message to all of you, I find that my heart is warmed and my smile wide.  It is Christmas morning, and it will be a glorious day!
     I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas.  I hope that this day is filled with God’s grace and forgiveness, his love and acceptance, and his peace and tranquility.  I hope that you take some time to think about the true meaning of this holiday, and how God is working in your life.  And most of all, I pray that you let your light shine upon others so they too may come to understand how Jesus can change their lives and erase many of the hardships they may endure.  The message of Christmas is one of hope and salvation.  Spread the word!!
