“Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:  Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” Luke 2:8-14

Born in a humble manger where animals were kept, the helpless babe, the Son of Mary, grew up and lived as the sinless Son of Man, taught us how to live a life pleasing to God the Father, died on the Cross as the sacrifice for all of our sin, and rose triumphantly on the 3^rd day, the Son of God, Prince of Peace, King of Glory.

This is Jesus the Christ, Messiah, born of a virgin, God of the Universe Who made Himself man for us and died so that we might be saved in Him and live forever with Him in Paradise.

He is more than Santa Claus, better than presents, He is the Gift that keeps on giving, He is the Light of the world.  This Christmas remember to be thankful for what we have received.  If you have not yet received the free Gift of salvation and been set free from the POWER of sin and eternal death than give yourself and your loved ones the best Gift ever this year.  The gift of salvation.  Say yes to Jesus and let Him be Lord of your life.

Have a blessed and merry Christmas!

With Love, through His Holy Spirit,
