The Birth of Jesus Christ

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. - Luke 2:7

We remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ into the world. He being in the form of God, yet humbled himself to take the form of man. There is only one reason why He left His home above. His divine form to take on the sinful and corrupt nature of man. You and me.

1 Peter 2:22-24 says of Him, "who had no sin neither was guile found in His mouth. Who when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously; who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness by whose stripes you were healed."

To have the righteous life you have to believe on the Lord Jesus. The Bible says in 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." No matter what your background is, what kind of life you have lived so long, the nature of your job, or the manner of life-style, what you have gained in your life in terms of riches or profit, if you want to saved you must believe on the Lord Jesus, you must call upon His name. Romans 10:13 says "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." "Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved," Acts 4:12 tells us.

Jesus is the Son of God and beloved, His love knows no bounds. No one can love you like the way He does. In spite of the worst in you, He is the only One who is willing to extend His hands to raise your fallen shameful self unto Himself and hold you in His loving embrace. He is the only one who accepts you and loves you for who you are. He gave His life on the cross so that you can live. He gave Himself as an offering so that you would be acceptable before God. There is nothing that He does not know about you.

Come to Him today, call upon His name, confess the sinful deeds in your life and be set free. Only He is the answer to all the questions in your life. Only He can give you the peace that you have been seeking at all the wrong places. Only He can satisfy the cravings of your heart with His love and presence. He will fill all athe emptiness and give you true meaning to life today.

Consider yours ways. How unfruitful they have been! Don't you wish that you could live life all over again. Take courage and have hope, for now you can have a new life witout the remembrance of all the wicked past. You can have a new life without the guilt and shame because of what the Lord has done for you. All you have to do is confess, believe and pray in faith.
