The Birth of Jesus.

Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign:  The virgin will be
with child, and will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel.

Matthew 1:21
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus
because he will save his people from their sins.

Children throughout the world are excited for the coming of Christmas.  Letters to Santa are being written, and children are hoping they receive the gifts that they long for.  Gifts are handed out among family, relations and friends.  But we must never forget the true meaning of Christmas, and the most precious gift of all is the birth of Jesus Christ.   Isaiah predicted the birth of Jesus, and he was  
to be called Immanuel ( God with us).  Jesus, means 'The Lord Saves.'   He came to save us.  He came to bring us Hope.  He came to bring us God's Peace.  He came to bring us Love and Joy.  If you celebrate advent in your church, you will understand the meaning of the candles that will be lit each Sunday up to Christmas.

When you open your presents on Christmas day, remember the birth of baby Jesus.  And enjoy Christmas day.
