READY FOR CHRISTMAS

Hopefully, we are ready for Christmas.  If you are celebrating with us, our Christmas celebration begins at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Christmas Day.  Thanks to everyone who helped get ready for Christmas—many volunteers came to help prepare for the celebration. 

 

These are some pictures of some helpers who helped get ready for Christmas.

 

 

Well, are you ready for Christmas?  You are officially out of time.  As Christmas is upon us, the business of the season seems to amp up each year—please take a deep breath, visualize the tremendous impact of that baby born in a tiny burg so far from where you sit right now.  Imagine how freaked out the shepherds must have been at first.  Think about how grand and fantastic the angels must have been.  All for you, my friend.  Jesus loved you that much, to come here and endure it all and more so he could be with you for time without end in a place so much better than the one you are sitting in right now. 

 

So, Merry Christmas, sister.  Merry Christmas, brother.  You have been given the greatest gift there is.

 

“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.  He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.  While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

 

“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."  Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

 

“Vì Giô-sép là dòng dõi nhà Đa-vít, cho nên cũng từ thành Na-xa-rét, xứ Ga- li-lê, lên thành Đa-vít, gọi là Bết-lê-hem, xứ Giu-đê, để khai vào sổ tên mình và tên Ma-ri, là người đã hứa gả cho mình đang có thai.  Đang khi hai người ở nơi đó, thì ngày sanh đẻ của Ma-ri đã đến.  Người sanh con trai đầu lòng, lấy khăn bọc con mình, đặt nằm trong máng cỏ, vì nhà quán không có đủ chỗ ở.

 

“Vả, cũng trong miền đó, có mấy kẻ chăn chiên trú ngoài đồng, thức đêm canh giữ bầy chiên.  Một thiên sứ của Chúa đến gần họ, và sự vinh hiển của Chúa chói lòa xung quanh, họ rất sợ hãi.  Thiên sứ bèn phán rằng: Đừng sợ chi; vì nầy, ta báo cho các ngươi một Tin Lành, sẽ làm một sự vui mừng lớn cho muôn dân; ấy là hôm nay tại thành Đa-vít đã sanh cho các ngươi một Đấng Cứu thế, là Christ, là Chúa.  Nầy là dấu cho các ngươi nhìn nhận Ngài: Các ngươi sẽ gặp một con trẻ bọc bằng khăn, nằm trong máng cỏ.  Bỗng chúc có muôn vàn thiên binh với thiên sứ đó ngợi khen Đức Chúa Trời rằng:  Sáng danh Chúa trên các từng trời rất cao, Bình an dưới đất, ân trạch cho loài người!

 

God bless your Christmas!
