"Sum-Thing to Consider"

"This is the bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever."  (John 6:58 KJV)

  "Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: so shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard they shall consider." (Isaiah 52:13-15 KJV)

 Thank you for putting up with me; this is my favorite, least favorite, time of the year! I am one of those guys that flash-shop the last two days before Christmas. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I just miss how I would go shopping with my wife, her present was the only one that I really had to think about! Besides that, I had great opportunities to give out Tracts, which was one of my favorite things to do in the Malls at pretty much any holiday. 

 I know this is a time when we are meant to be celebrating the birth of Jesus, so it might seem odd to talk about the death He suffered upon the cross; but this is why He came, as a little helpless Baby! Not that He did not have help, because the angels were protecting Him around every corner; but in that little Child dwelt the Eternal Living God! (Chew on that for a moment!) 

When Jesus says, "This is the bread which came down from heaven," He literally means what He says! The seed that entered into Mary was of God, none other than the I AM, the Father from Heaven! This is why Jesus was the Only Begotten of the Father, because there had never been, nor will there ever be, another birth that is the same. 

 I have listened to so many different messages about the Biblical versions of what took place, versus the traditional images that are on display, that I have about had enough of the bickering over the small and insignificant stuff that really does not matter at all! Who cares how many Wise Men there were? Or where they came from? Or what they did for a living! There is no difference in that, and the way the Jews were reacting to and treating Jesus, who was actually God in the flesh! 

 That is all that really matters, Jesus Christ was born: Emanuel, God is with us, became one of us, that He might save us from our sins, which is why He was named, JESUS the CHRIST! If you know the Season, season up your communication with a little bit of the Truth; don't let an opportunity to share about Jesus go to waste, because this is what the majority of the world is expecting to hear about: Seriously...

 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." (Luke 2:8-14 KJV)
