THE GREATEST PRESENT IS HIS PRESENCE!



We are celebrating one of the richest gifts ever given to man today, Jesus Christ!  Just to be in His presence is more than enough to cover anything we need or desire. 

We have received so much through the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  We want to share just a few wonderful gifts given to us through His birth with you today.  Please take a few moments to discover other gifts we have received because of the most important birth of all, Jesus Christ, and share them with your loved ones today.  

HOW WONDERFUL TO KNOW, GOD IS WITH US: IS. 7:14

WHAT A BLESSING TO KNOW THAT GOD IS FOR US: IS. 54:17

LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN GOD WILL RETURN TO TAKE US HOME: MATT. 24:31

Were you there when Jesus was born? Will you be there when He returns?

I wonder if I would have been one of the chosen ones to witness the birth of Jesus?  What would that have felt like?  How would that have made my life different?  Of course we all have the opportunity to read all about the birth of Jesus in the Bible. Lu. 2:15-20  And all of our lives have certainly been changed for the better because of that one precious birth.  But reading about the birth of Jesus can't compare to being there in the moment and seeing it with your own eyes. 

No, I wasn't there when Jesus was born and neither were you.  We missed out on that blessed event but I do believe in His virgin birth and that He is the son of God and that He will come again.

Praise be to God, one day, I will see Him on His next visit and this is gauranteed.  It won't matter if I am dead or alive when He returns;  I will see Him, and I will live with Him forever!  And you can too!  Are you ready, watching and waiting?  He is coming again and you don't want to miss this blessed event.  In the words of TD Jakes, "Get ready, get ready, get ready!"
I Thes. 4:15-18
