Christmas and Children
It has always been
true, and it always will be true, Christmas and children belong together
and Christmas without children just isn't complete. Whether they're our
children or ones we've never seen before, seems like human beings just
naturally yearn for the gleeful screeches of happy children when Christmas
time rolls around; peculiar, isn't it? And yet, it's not so strange after
all, not when we realize that there never was a Christmas until a Child
brought it straight from Heaven and placed it within our hearts. Yes, the
Christ Child was the first Christmas gift ever given, and He was sent from
God to everyone who would accept Him. What a priceless Gift! Here was all
of the Heavenly Father's love wrapped in swaddling clothes and bound with
the scarlet cords of sacrifice! And with that Gift Christmas was born.
Sometimes the Christ
Child may be pushed into the background while tiny elves and a little old
fat man takes the center of the stage. However, there is nothing that has
not changed - it was on that first Christmas day nearly 2000 years ago
that a Child brought joy and hope and comfort to a lonely and desperate
world. It was a Child who spread the spirit of giving throughout the earth
and even today, because God willed it so, children are still the inspiration
of every joyful Christmas. "So it was in the beginning and thus it will
ever be" until the wondrous, Christ Child has put down all enemies of righteousness
and the fullness of His Kingdom has come. Amen.

What does that precious
Christ Child mean to you?
Without the birth and
death of our Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus is our Hope and
our Future. He alone is our Passport to Heaven. It doesn't matter
how rich you are or how good you are, you cannot buy your way into Heaven.
It is God's wonderful gift to those who believe in and accept His Son Jesus
Christ.
'Dear Father God, I
realise that I have been leading my own life and have made many mistakes
along the way. I ask you now to forgive my mistakes and to cleanse me from
all sin. I thank you Father God that when you forgive you also forget,
and I ask you please to help me to forgive others as you have forgiven
me. I now ask you Lord Jesus, to come into my life and be my Lord.
I thank you for your
Word which tells me in John 3.16
Dear Friend if you
just said that prayer and really meant it, I would love to hear from you.
I am more than willing to answer any questions I can ,to help you in your
new Christian life.
It is important now
to tell people of your decision to be a Christian and to find yourself
a Bible believing Church, that teaches that Jesus is the Son of God. That
He died for remission of our sins and that He rose again on the third day
and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. You
have some wonderful times ahead of you now my friend and there will be
many Christians out there just longing to be your friend. I am one
of them.

Thankyou
so much.
Do you ever stop to
think that Jesus was sent to this world for a purpose? That purpose
was you and me my friend. God made a way for us to come back to Him.
we would all be lost
in sin, with no hope of a future.
It is yours for the
asking!
Right now, before
you leave this page, won't you accept God's Gift to you by praying this
simple prayer.
"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."
I now confess Jesus
as Lord of my life and I thank you that I now have Your precious Gift of
Eternal Life.
Thank you Lord Jesus.
Amen.
Welcome to the Family
of God.
May His Peace and
Joy and Love be yours
now for forever. Amen.
