Christ's Birth Offers Reconciliation to God

*CHRIST'S BIRTH OFFERS RECONCILIATION TO GOD* 


 _*Receiving the Word*_ 


Bible Lesson:  John 1:1-18


Key Verses:  “And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14


The New Testament gives us accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus. Each of the Gospels paints a portrait of God in their story of Jesus. Matthew, Mark and Luke are so similar to one another they can be placed side by side and “seen together.” For this reason they are called the Synoptic Gospels. John, however paints a somewhat different portrait of Jesus and therefore of God.


John does not include most of the stories about Jesus that are found in the Synoptics. In the Synoptics, Jesus performs miracles to help people in need. He refuses to do anything to prove his identity. In John, Jesus does miracles precisely to prove his identity. John refers to the deeds of Jesus as “signs” rather than miracles.


 The signs are proof that Jesus is the Son of God and all that he does is to glorify God.


John shows us that Jesus is much more than a man. He is God who has come to earth to provide salvation to the world. Jesus is the word of God who existed from before the beginning of all things. Through him, God created the universe and has now become a human being (verses-1-4). God took nothing and from nothing, through Jesus, created all that is.


God actually came to live with us. Not only live with us, God came to stay. “And the Word became flesh and lived among us” (verse 14).


 When the word became flesh and lived among us, God, in Jesus, became what we are. As Jesus associated with sinners, in the eyes of religious leaders he became a sinner. As he touched the unclean, he became unclean.


In this image of God, we see more than what God is like. We see what God expects of us. In the giving of ourselves to the will of God, proclaiming his word, and being in ministry, should not we say to those to whom we minister, “whatever you are, I am?”


 Jesus made the promise as he said, “I will not leave you comfortless” (John 14:18). “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever” (John 14:16). Therefore, we live not in virtue of an absent Lord and teacher, but a present and abiding spirit of light and truth. Jesus is seen through this spirit even when he, Jesus, is unseen.



On this Christmas ,  the birth of our Lord, what do we now know about God? As we visit the manger again, what will see? In the Christ child, we will see that God is near and accessible. We will see that God is love and compassion. We will see that God is righteousness and justice. We will see God who made us and abides with us now and evermore. We will see the word living among us.


John3:16 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.


Remember Jesus loves us that's why he came to die for us," 1Timothy 1:15-16


15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 



Are you ready to accept him as your lord and your personal saviour now, are you ready to turn away from death and destruction to enjoy enternal life with Jesus Christ when he came back to take us,


Please repent before it's too late ‼️

Jesus Christ is coming soon ‼️

This is the last hours ‼️

Rapture can happen anytime from now ‼️

Heaven is real ‼️

Hell is real ‼️

I say again Jesus Christ is coming soon ‼️


If u have been touched by Jesus Christ in this massage please Just pray this prayer with a sincere heart: and don't forget to read your bible day and night.


“Lord Jesus, I believe You are the true God and a perfect man. Thank You for being born and becoming a real man with both divinity and humanity. Thank You for saving me from my sins by dying for me. Lord, I receive You right now. Come into me and live in me. Thank you, Lord Jesus, You are Emmanuel, God with me all the time. Amen.”


Remember to share to your friends and family to save their souls ❤️ shalom happy Christmas and new year in advance amen.

I Will Build My Church - Matthew16:13-19

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
