Jesus – God’s Gift To All Humanity

Luke 2:7-20 (NKJV) 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” 15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

We need always to remember that because of this beautiful event, this gift of Jesus, we need not fear what tomorrow brings because Jesus is in all our tomorrows. There are over 3,000 promises to His children, and each promise is Yes and Amen. The term “fear not” is stated in the Bible 365 times.  We need to cherish our precious gift of Jesus today, tomorrow, and always.

Mark 5:36, “Fear not, only believe”. There are nine gifts of the Spirt that God has given His children.

The Word of Knowledge; The Word of Wisdom; The Gift of Prophecy; The Gift of Faith;

The Gifts of Healings; The Working of Miracles; The Discerning of Spirits; Different Kinds of Tongues; The Interpretation of Tongues. {I Corinthians 12:7-11}

John 15:13 (NLT) 13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.
