The Christmas season Approaches!

 Great Opportunities?

Christmas and Easter have the biggest times to share the Gospel message in the hope of leading the world to the truth and understanding what it's all about, rather than the commercialism and gluttony of the seasonal holiday?

We know the truth of this time, but how to get it over to the world can be tougher, since they are blinded by Satan and His lies to what we have to say to change their hearts to receive the true light of the star of Jacob, the morning stare, the, 'I Am the light of the world!

Numbers 24:17, John 12:46, 2 Peter 1:19.

We also know the story and this with a few verses may be enough to reach them, love being a key factor since this is what people long for in this society of rejection, indifference and ignoring the truth of real like for that of feelings and constant fantasy?

Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 9:7, Luke 1:32-33, Amos 5:4, Matthew 7:7-8, John 3:3-18, Acts 4:12, Romans 3:22-23, 6:23, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26.

CHRISTMAS. Part-Three.

Three Kings.

Wise men or the Magi, set out from Babylonia and followed the long awaited bright star. It took them one year to get to Jerusalem and they headed for the palace to seek the King of Israel.

There they met the mad, paranoid king Herod who was bemused of their arrival. But he had a hidden agenda as so many do!

The Magi eventually found Jesus and presented Him their gifts. But on leaving an angel told them to go a different way. Thus when Herod found out, he felt mocked. But his intentions was not to honour Jesus, rather to start a genocide, in which every male child up to two years old was murdered.

Matthew 2:1-11,  2:15-18, Genesis 35:16-20,  Jeremiah 31:15.

CHRISTMAS. Part-One.

A Star.

There are two things when people think about a star, its a celeb or one that is seen in the night sky?

God chose a disturbed man to make the most amazing and prolific statement in the Bible about a certain star that was to rise over Jacob.

That same star was followed by the Magi to find the baby Jesus and that same star today is still shinning in the hearts of millions who believe and live in Him daily.

So my friend let me ask you, 'Where is that Star with you this season?

Numbers 24:17, Isaiah 16;5, Daniel 7:14, 27, Matthew 2:1-11.

Crib n Cross. Part-One.

Star of Jacob.

Do you ever bother to look up at the night sky and ponder the stars, along time ago the wisemen of three great world powers looked up nightly waiting for that event.

The prophet Daniel, the guy put in with the lions he was the one who trained the Magi and they kept to his words.   
Daniel 6:7, 12.

It is strage how God intervenes in peoples lives? 

There was mad Baalim, you know the one who heard his donkey talking to him. He was given this prophecy and that is why the wisemen came to see Jesus. 
Numbers 24:17,  Matthew 2:2.

What will you be doing this Christmas, drinking, stuffing yourself, music and sex or perhaps its time to let Him who knocks the door of your heart IN.  
Luke 11:9, Revelation 3:20.

Wrapped. Part-Three.

Wisemen.

We all like to give and recieve presents at this time of the year, that is if belong to the Christian tradition in one form or another. We see that the Magi came from the east to give gifts to the Jesus, but they really came to worship Him.

They had waited a long time for this day, thousands of years for the star of promise to appear in the sky's. So they all got wrapped up and set off to see the Messiah and the savior of the world. Matthew 2:1-18,  Numbers 24:17.

What will you be doing with yourself this 'Christmas, home with family, parents, someone close or are you all alone, out of choice or feel rejected?

Don't be mean try to see what's it all about for yourself!
John 6:29.
