Jesus - The Ultimate Christmas Gift


"But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity." Micah 5:2 -


It is so good during the busy Christmas season to remember why we celebrate Christmas. It is because of that night long ago in Bethlehem, when the angels heralded the arrival of the Mashiach Nagid, our Messiah the King, as a babe born in Bethlehem. It is when the CREATOR entered His own creation to become the ultimate sin offering for you and me. It is so humbling and awesome to know just how much God loves us. Jesus sums it up in John 3:16, "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." Jesus willingly and with a love that we cannot even begin to fathom the depths of, offered Himself as the atonement for OUR sins. Jesus is the ULTIMATE Christmas gift!! We just have to accept the gift. Thank you Jesus!!!
