The Christmas Effect
Christ’s birth does not only make a difference at the time of our death. Christians change here and now how they live their lives. Life on earth and life in heaven are effected by Christ’s birth!
Divine Precision in the Prophesies
From ancient times the Lord predicted in detail the birth in human form of his son the Messiah. Yet, despite the fulfillment of all of these, some are still skeptic.
Reassuring John
Simeon saw the baby Jesus and recognized in him the savior God had promised. He asked God to let him die. John the Baptist received the same reassurance. This was the one who was to come!
The Forerunner of Christ
Just as Malachi had long foretold, John the Baptist begins his mission: to prepare the way for the Lord Jesus. That was the only mission God assigned to him. As soon as he was done, he was to die at Herod’s hands.
‘Unheard of ‘ King
Until Jesus rode unto Jerusalem on a colt, no one had heard of a king that came in the name of the Lord. This one is different. No army, no escort, no weapons were part of his parade. He came to serve, not to be served. He came to free people from their sins.
Glory, Majesty, Dominion, Authority
In this brief letter, Jude tells us how to spend our time while we wait for the end. We are to show mercy to the doubters, and to snatch some from the fire (of hell), while attributing glory, majesty, dominion and authority to the only God our Lord through Jesus Christ our Savior.
