Those four words changed the course of history and they can change your life today. Nothing in the world is more powerful than these four words...God is with you.
When Jesus was announced by the Angel Gabriel to Mary, the bible says that the Angel said that His name shall be called Immanuel which literally means GOD WITH US! The very nature of Christ and the very essence of what He was called to do is found in this phrase God is with us!
Here are a few points from yesterdays message:
1. Christmas is a time for God to get the glory.
Have you ever asked yourself why Jesus was born the way that He was. He could have been born anytime, anyplace, or he could have appeared out of nothing if He wanted to...but He decided to be born with mangers, angel's singing, wise men from the east, gold, frankinscense, and myrrh...but Why?
Because when God decides to show up, he always shows up in such a way that you HAVE to give Him the glory. Only God could have orchestrated all of this. This is why He deserves our praise.
2. Christmas is a a time for goodwill.
My prayer is that you take time this Christmas to be good to someone who doesn't even deserve it. The reason is because none of us deserved for God to be so good to us by sending His only Son, but He did! In fact, the gift was so powerful that the angels couldn't contain it...they cried...
"Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on Earth, and Goodwill towards Man" (Luke 2)
Be good to someone this week! Have a merry Christmas!
