We celebrate birthdays all year long, making a big fuss over the birthday person, whether it is a family member, a friend, or even someone in the history of our Country. Yes, birthdays are special and we enjoy celebrating. Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His is the greatest of all birthdays.
"Joy to the world the Lord has come! Let earth receive her King!"
We celebrate birthdays all year long, making a big fuss over the birthday person, whether it is a family member, a friend, or even someone in the history of our Country. Yes, birthdays are special and we enjoy celebrating. Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His is the greatest of all birthdays. It's not about Santa Claus and the hustle and bustle of buying and giving and receiving gifts. We have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. Our Savior was born, we don't know exactly what day, but it was around the time that we celebrate. The true date doesn't matter, the fact is He came, lived, suffered, shed His Blood, died and rose again, just for you and me. And on Christmas we say, "Thank You, Father, for sending your only begotten Son; and we thank You, Jesus, for being willing to come, humbly as a little Baby. There is no greater love!!!
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Might God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6-7.
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!
WE LOVE YOU!

I was in a church service one time when there was a "prophet" praying for the people. After a time, he called for an offering and had his mind totally on the offering instead of the people coming for prayer. One man went for prayer while the offering was being taken and the "prophet" told the man to come back to another service and then he would pray for him.

When we focus on money and things – possessions, we put them before God and forget about Him. Jesus said it is hard for a rich man to enter into heaven. Why is this so? Because he feels he has all he needs and doesn't need God, the One who has the whole world in His hands. A rich man depends on his riches and possessions to gain whatever happiness he needs in life: not realizing that the mammon is temporal and will pass away.

In this day and time men need encouragement like never before. They need to know that they are loved and very much need in this world. They also need Godly wisdom and understanding of the ways of the kingdom of God. Jesus is our supreme example in how to live as holy men of God. He prayed often to the Father, putting His earthly life completely in God's hands.
