26 Days of Christmas...Day 5...'E' Words...
The Greatest 'E' word ever uttered was spoken by an Angel before Jesus's birth when the Angel told Joseph not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife, "For the Child that has been conceived in her is full of the Holy Spirit...And you shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins."...And then the Angel continues speaking to Joseph in his dream, quoting the prophet, Isaiah, in Isaiah 7:14 "And they shall call His name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted means, 'God With Us'....Christmas is all about EMMANUEL...Don't you think?
Christ is also referred to in Isaiah 11:10 as 'an ENSIGN for the people'...Fly your Christmas flag high Facebook friends... for Jesus said in John 12:32 "If I be lifted up, I will draw all people unto Me."
This Christmas, let us do as David said in Psalm 148:13..."Let us praise the Name of the Lord, for His Name alone is EXCELLENT."
This Christmas, let's pay homage to Christ who is also referred to as EXALTED EXCELLENCY and EVERLASTING KING.
This Christmas, praying I will take special notice of what Peter told the Ephesian Elders in 1 Peter 5:4 "And when the CHIEF ELDER (That's Jesus) shall appear, you shall receive an unfading crown of glory."...important to me because I was ordained an Elder in the Lord's Church last night!
Almighty God, May EACH and EVERYONE of us EVERYWHERE Open Your Gates And ENTER In To Receive Your EXCEEDING Great And Precious Promises. May we not look for a present under the EVERGREEN tree as the 'best gift' of Christmas, but realize that our 'Best Gift' was Your Son, Who Purchased our Salvation On A Tree.
In Jesus' Holy Name I Pray, Amen.
