Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Jesus is born!

I love reading the story of the birth of Jesus!

In those days Cesar Augustus  issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 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. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
(KJV) Luke 2:1-14

 

As you read the verses above ,you realize Jesus was not born in a luxury hotel; but an inn with animals around.

The time of Jesus birth was a treacherous time, a census was going on so Joseph and Mary were seeking shelter away from Augustus.

I raise my hands in adoration, and I bow before the new born King. Baby Jesus is the Son of God who died on the cross for my and our sins.

I worship you Lord, I give you praise and I honor you.  Today, December 25th may not of been Jesus birthday; but this is a day that Christians recognize the magnificence and thankfulness that God gave his Son for us.

I bow before you Lord!  Merry Christmas!

This is a wonderful day, however we should celebrate Jesus everyday!

Celebrate Jesus!

This is a favorite song of mine by Amy Grant. Enjoy!
