As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love All because of love

I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him
And all that I do every word that I say
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him


Jesus's birth day (the day we celebrate His coming to earth in human form) is celebrated all over the world and his fame has not diminished in 2,000 years. But sometimes the way in which his birthday is "celebrated" is anything but what it should be. Much of the time it is with disrespect. His name is used to sell merchandise. This is the only time of the year when the stores play Christian music and we hear the name of the Lord in the public square. At other times there would probably be lawsuits over mentioning Christ in these places.

The name of Jesus has been so maligned these past 2,000 years yet, according to the Bible, His name is above all names. Among other things, He is:

The Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Wonderful Counselor,
The Holy One, The Lamb of God, the Prince of Life, The Word of Life,
Author and Finisher of Our Faith, our Advocate.
He is The Way, the only Begotten Son of God, the Messiah, The Truth,
Savior, Lord of All, The Righteous Judge, The Light of the World,
The Resurrection and Life, our Horn of Salvation.
He is The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End.

So Jesus is God's love gift to us. He says, "...the greatest
demonstration of God's love for us has been His sending His only Son
into the world to give us life through Him. We see real love, not in
the fact that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to
make personal atonement for our sins"

Simply put, without Jesus we perish eternally. But by faith in Him,
We are forgiven our sins and united with God both now and forever.

Let' s celebrate Jesus for who He really is.

Blessed Christmas everybody, and Happy birthday to you Jesus(:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."-John 3:16
