Christmas Day is coming and once again the atmosphere of festivity and joy takes over almost every city in the world.
Although we find some reminders on the internet and even in the media that Christmas actually marks the birth of Jesus Christ, some people still don't realize the importance of this day.
God had prophesied this day several times in the Bible, and one of them, which I believe is the clearest of all, was made about 700 years before Jesus was born:
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
On the 25th, celebrate and worship Jesus, who was born according to the promise and love of God and gave his life so that we might have life.
On the 25th, teach the children the truth about "Santa Claus", that he is a lie and that he has no power to bestow anything on anyone.
On the 25th, teach the children that our requests must be made to Jesus, who has all authority and power in heaven and on earth, and can accomplish anything.
On the 25th, transform your home into a place of worship to God, celebrate the Lord, sing praises and thank God and celebrate the fulfillment of the greatest biblical prophecy: JESUS.
On the 25th, remember that JESUS IS YOUR LIFE AND YOUR JOY AND YOUR PEACE and more:
The Root of David, the Desire of Ages, the Son of the Most High God, the King of the Jews, the Bright Morning Star, the Messiah, the Christ, the Savior of All Peoples, the Wonderful One, the God Almighty, the Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Hope of Israel, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Lamb of God, Redeemer, Bread of Life, Living Water, River of God, King Eternal, Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, the Rock Eternal, the Chief Cornerstone, Immanuel, the Faithful, the High Priest, the Word of Life, the Word of God, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the True, the Worthy of Praise, the Just Judge, the Light of the World, the Good Shepherd, the I Am, the Lord of the Harvest, the True Vine, the Deliverer, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Resurrection, the Author of Life, the Anointed of God, your Lord, your Savior...
Praised and aggrandized be the name of Jesus forever and ever!
JESUS WE LOVE YOU!
HOSANNA TO OUR GOD!
The Lord bless you and keep you.
