Christmas is almost here again already.
Christmas time is a time filled with lots of stress for most people, as they scramble to find the right gift for their loved ones. However, no gift can possibly compare to the greatest gift ever, Jesus Christ God's Son!
Jesus came so that we might have life that is eternal life, everlasting life/spiritual life. A life that passes all comprehension, understanding. Jesus came to earth as God in the flesh, many years ago so that we might be able to go to heaven to be with him someday. His birth was prophesied long before he was ever born. He fulfilled over 333 prophecies about the Messiah ,during his first coming to earth, long ago. He was born a supernatural birth. No one else was ever born this way before him, and no one else has ever been born this way since then. Jesus was born of a virgin, named Mary. The prophet Isaiah prophesied about this long before he was born. Isaiah 7:14 " Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
Isaiah 9: 6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting father, prince of peace."
Luke 1:26-38 "Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, Rejoice highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women! But when she saw him,she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and His shall call his name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give him the throne of His father David. And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end. Then Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I do not know a man? And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore , also that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible. Then Mary said, Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her."

How I Came to Christ
At the early age of six years old, I realized that I had void in my life nothing could fill. I attended VBS that year at a local church. The teacher, read Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This means we all sin, do bad things that make God sad, and because of this we fall short of his standard-being perfect/sinless. Then she read, John 3:16 "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." This means God loves us so much, that he sent his only son, Jesus Christ, the only sinless one to die on the cross in our place. Last she read, Matthew 28:6 "He is not here:for he is risen as he said, Come see the place where the Lord lay." This means the Lord, Jesus Christ did not stay dead. He rose again from the dead! This was when I realized for the very first time that I was a sinner, that Jesus loved me so much that he died for me, and that he had risen from the dead. So, I prayed-talked to God, and told him, I was sorry for being a sinner, thanked him for his love for me, and for his death on the cross for me,and for rising from the dead, and asked him to come into my heart and save me from my sin. Since, then I have had the promise of a future home in heaven,Christ as my best friend, and forgiveness of sin.
When I was in elementary school, the other children bullied me. I cried, and told my mother. She prayed with me for me to be comforted by God. I also told the teacher. The teacher corrected the other children for this. After awhile the other children, asked for forgiveness for being bullies and changed from bullies to friends. I was grateful for this.
I did not read my Bible as much as I should have in tenth grade. I attended a camp that summer, a Christian camp, and realized after a week there, that I needed to start reading my Bible again, so I started reading it again in Proverbs. I never dated in highschool and some people though this was odd. Just decided not too. I started to court in college. My college sweetheart and I got married in 2004. We had our son, in 2008.
Life is not a bed of roses though. Christians have trials/hardships in life. My husband hurt his knee in Dec. 2008, and had to switch to a desk job for work. Then, in Dec. 2009 he, my husband,almost died. He had pneumonia in his blood stream, which is extremely dangerous. The doctors thought he looked half dead when he arrived at the hospital that year. He was in the hospital for a entire week during Christmas time. The doctors treated him for the h1n1 virus too. It really was a miracle he survived this. I give God the glory for this every day!
Anyone who claims Christians will always have material wealth, good health, etc. are false teachers. Even the Apostle Paul had hardships in life as mentioned in Acts, I Timothy & II Timothy. Stephen was stoned for his faith in Christ ( in Acts), and many others were persecuted for their faith in Christ (in Acts), and their are Christians in other countries persecuted for their faith in Christ every day. Plus, there are Christians made fun every day for their stand in Christ by the media and others who are not saved. Whether it is popular, or not Christians are to obey God by standing up for what is right, even if it means that others mock them.

Jesus is great! He is the LORD of all!
He is God!
Jesus is the Messiah!
He came to earth many years ago so that we might have life abundantly.
He died on the cruel cross at Calvary, so that we might be set free.
John 18:17-18 "Carrying his own cross, he went to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). Here they crucified him, and with him two others-one one each side and Jesus in the middle."
John 18:30 "... Jesus said, It is finished. With that, he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit."
He was buried in a borrowed tomb.
John 19: 38-41 " Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about seventy-five pounds. Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance of Jewish customs. At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. "
He rose again!
Matthew 28:5-6 " The angel said to the women, Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."
He ascended into heaven!
Acts 1:7, 9 "He said to them : It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight."
Luke 24:50-51 " When had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven."
He is preparing a place for those who trust in him!
John 14:3 "And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. "
