DECEMBERMESSAGE
by: evangelist Sieberen Voordewind
December has come! Many people celebrate every year Christmas in their own way. For many people, Christmas is a time of gifts under the tree, lights in the windows, cards in the mail and dinners. And many people celebrate the birth of the Christ child. But not every christian celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. O, whatever you believe or do not believe: True faith is based on the Word of the Living God. And the BIBLE says in Psalm 119:160 in the New International Version: "All Your Words are true..."
It doesn’t matter if you believe that the Lord Jesus was born in the winter or in the summer. JESUS CHRIST IS BORN! That is important. The Bible says in Luke 1:30-33 in the NIV: "But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a Son, and you are to call Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.The Lord God will give Him the throne of His Father David, and He will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; His kingdom will never end.” And the Bible says in Luke 2:4, 6 and 7A (NIV): "So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David... While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son." Praise God!
Jesus Christ was born so one day the price could be paid on the cross for the things we have done that are wrong. The Bible says in Isaiah 53:5A in the New Living Translation: "But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins." And the Bible says in 1 John 1:9 in the NLT translation: "But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness." Believe in Jesus Christ, come to Jesus Christ, let Jesus Christ come into your heart and follow Jesus Christ.
The Bible says is John 3:16 (NIV): "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
