“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Matthew 1: 21)   Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas!  Jesus is not only “the reason for the season”, but He is the reason for life.  JESUS is the subject, and YOU are the object of His love.  “For God so loved YOU!”  Jesus’ greatest desire is that you will come to know Him as your Savior and Lord!   Jesus doesn’t stop there, although that would be enough, but He desires to be so much more.

He desires that you come to know Him as: your Shepherd, your Advocate, your Bridegroom, your Conqueror, your Lamb, your manna, your living water, your food, your dwelling place, your Sabbath, your anchor, your peace, your comfort, your Healer, your joy, your glory, your power, your strength, your victory, your redemption, your kinsman redeemer, your teacher, your liberator, your deliver, your beloved, your way, your truth, your life, your author, your finisher, your beginning, your end, your eternity  -

your all in all!   Jesus gave us the greatest gift of all - Himself!  I pray this Christmas that Jesus will be the subject of your conversation, and more importantly, that you will come to know Him as “all the above!”

Merry Christmas!

In His Service,

Pastor Rodney
