In the month of December we are reminded of how the Christmas Story unfolded before the eyes of man as the prophetic utterances of Isaiah and Micah came to pass in Bethlehem's manger.
"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel" (Isa. 7:14).
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting" (Mic. 5:2).
Yes! Let us remember and rejoice in God our Savior. He so loved you and me that He sent the most priceless thing that could be found in heaven—His Son!
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
There is no sweeter story rehearsed by human lips than that of His sinless life, suffering, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection from the dead!
What Will You Do?
What will you do now that you know the Scripture declares Him to be the Son of God and the Savior of the World?
What will you do with your life this year?
There is no escaping the truth that: "...all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23).
That this includes you and me is self-evident.
"...the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom. 6:23).
What then, shall we do?
"...if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Rom. 10:9-10).
What then, will you do?
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
Start the New Year out right —accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior now!
