Christmas
- Remembering the miracle of God taking on flesh and dwelling among us (Zechariah 2:10; John 1:14)...
- For the purpose of paying the full cost of sin (Isaiah 53; 1 Timothy 1:15-17)....
- For ALL who call upon His name in repentance (Psalms 145:18-20; John 1:9-12; Acts 3:18-19; Romans 2:5; 2 Corinthians 7:10).
May you have a beautiful Christmas focused on Him.
Zechariah 2:10
Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” declares Yahweh.
John 1:14
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
1 Timothy 1: 15 -17
15 It is a trustworthy saying and deserving full acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost.
16 Yet for this reason I was shown mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate all His patience as an example for those who are going to believe upon Him for eternal life.
17 Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Isaiah 53: 4 -12
Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our peace fell upon Him,
And by His wounds we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But Yahweh has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of the living,
That for the transgression of my people...
But Yahweh was pleased
To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
If You would place His soul as a guilt offering,
He will see His seed,
He will prolong His days,
And the good pleasure of Yahweh will succeed in His hand.
1 As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore, I will divide for Him a portion with the many,
And He will divide the spoil with the strong;
Because He poured out His soul to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
Psalm 145: 18 - 20
Yahweh is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
He will work out the desire of those who fear Him; He will hear their cry for help and He will save them.
Yahweh keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy.
He will work out the desire of those who fear Him; He will hear their cry for help and He will save them.
Yahweh keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy.
John 1: 9 -12
9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens everyone.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to what was His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
Acts 3:18 - 19
18
But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.
19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
Romans 2:5
But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
2 Corinthians 7:10
For godly sorrow produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world brings about death.
