My friend,

​

When I was growing up, Christmas was more than just decorations and beautiful lights. We always enjoy this time as a family, and we were constantly reminded that this was all about Jesus, who He was, and what He did.

​

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10

​

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8

​

My mom would begin a cleaning spree during the holidays. She wanted that house in order before Thanksgiving thru Christmas. There was a mixture of aromas from lemon pledge to Lysol to homemade bread and pies, and ham and turkey. Mom believed in keeping that house in order!

​

That is what God did! He sent Christ to bring back His creation to the original order that Adam lost!

​

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:11, 14

​

Jesus had come!

​

Christmas reminds us that God gave us a new start! When Christ came, He was God's Answer for Earth's greatest problem. Adam opened the door for sin to operate. Jesus restored our rightful order!

​

Isaiah the Prophet was mightily used of the Lord to bring us a word of the soon coming Messiah.

​

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

​

The Lord also used His prophet to speak to King Hezekiah. There was a problem and that was the King's house was not in proper order! (Isaiah 38:1)

​

Then an interesting thing took place. Hezekiah began to put his house in order. He turned to the wall and repented believing the Lord to forgive him. What was he doing? The King was putting his house in order.

​

The Lord stopped Isaiah and told him to go back and let Hezekiah know that God was going to give him more time and most importantly God healed him.

​

My prayer is that God touches YOU and YOUR family. Be encouraged that during this season we can tell our world that Jesus is coming again! Would you consider joining my wife and I in presenting a special Christmas offering to help us take the Gospel to our world? . . . We are partners too!

​

Merry Christmas! Together we are making a difference!
