John 1:1-3, 14

John 1
The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made

John 1:14
14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[a] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Truth in Christmas for our Children:

can be read throughout the bible and confirmed in the Gospel..

Matthew 1:22-24

22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."

24When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

Luke 2:29-32

29"Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you now dismiss your servant in peace.
30For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31which you have prepared in the sight of all people,
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and for glory to your people Israel."

The birth of Jesus Christ brings us the celebration of CHRISTmas.. For many generations over have lost the meaning of this life altering day. The birth if Jesus Christ 1 Peter 1:3
[ Praise to God for a Living Hope ] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

There is song you can hear by Faith Hill, A baby changes everything..the words within itself are eye opening to Gods love.. Can you imagine life without the Birth of Jesus Christ? We were gifted a new life a new creation in Him.. Our God saw we were dead in sin by the law given to Moses. We were torn between sinful nature and wanting to please our Creator. He knew without the son of God we were all destined for Hell. By delivering His son through Mary
Luke 1:35-38
35The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[c] the Son of God. 36Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37For nothing is impossible with God."

38"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.

(Jesus) He gave us Hope of a life away from Sin. On this day is where we should find ourselves loving each gift given to us through the blood of Jesus Christ birth.. We have gotten lost in a world who is excited for fat jolly old man named Santa Clause which in fact has been transformed by men from being a Christian man named St Nicholas who was,

The Historical Saint Nicholas

The historical Saint Nicholas of Myrna was a fourth century bishop in what is now Turkey. Nicholas had the good fortune to be born to wealthy parents, and after their deaths he became famous for using his inheritance to help the poor. One legend tells of Nicholas taking pity on a family whose father could not afford dowry money for his three daughters to wed. Nicholas visited their house in secret, and tossed a bag of gold for each girl through the window.

These three bags of gold have become one of the enduring symbols of the Saint’s charity, represented by both the oranges commonly included in Christmas or St. Nicholas Day celebrations, and the three gold balls which advertise pawn shops.

The historical Saint Nicholas is represented with a full, short white beard, and wearing the red cape of a bishop over white priestly robes. He carries a crosier, or elaborate shepherd’s crook, and wears a red bishop’s mitre, or pointed hat. In Eastern Orthodox iconography, he is often shown holding a book of the Gospels, with Jesus Christ over one shoulder and Theotokos, the Greek name for Mary, Mother of Jesus, over the other.
The appeal of this kind and generous saint is such that he and his story have been celebrated and reinterpreted by generations of Christian cultures all over the globe.


"Today's society has lost the idea of what Christmas was given us for" The Gospel was brought to us on this very day by the birth of a Son. A Son of God who would one day give the ultimate gift of life on the cross. The blood of one man which would be the Holy One that would be shed by man to save man! He would die for our sins. This day was given to us to remember with celebration and lights and representing nothing but love and gifts of truth and glory to God.

Instead we have spoiled our children with a story of a Fat jolly man from a make believe place in the world filled with magic and hand helped of tiny people that will judge us by the presents that are left under a tree or in a stocking of our right and wrongs throughout the year. At what point did God ask us to turn His gift into a fairytale?

I come to you boldly and ask that you approach your children with truth this year. Give them the ultimate gift. Allow them to know who God is and what He did for us by allowing a woman of His creation to give birth to Himself as a man to live as we live and endure what we endure and show Faith in a Sovereign God that no one can see but feel in their hearts by a gift of a spirit that Jesus left behind as He was crucified on the cross.. Gift them with Honor in knowing who their Creator is and how much He loves them.. Gift your children with bibles and stories of what God has done and will continue to do throughout time.. Gift them with Gods love and teach them the truth pertaining Old St. Nick and allow them to know the beauty in giving to others that are hungry and poor or lost on this very day in all parts of the world. Which has been corrupted by satan and hear their cry out to God..

Give your children a gift and introduce them to missions of greatness in God and powerful scriptures that will mold them in Gods love and good will for many generations to come.. To find the true meaning of Christmas is not in department stores going broke trying to please someones selfish desire of a product they surely do not need that we as parents have unfortunately planted in them!

But love your children show them the gifts God has in store for them as they grow in their own relationships with The Father, The Son Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit. The trinity marked with peace love and unity, something they will never find in a desire of the flesh.. God is real and He gifted us a son of mercy to show us the extreme of mercy and love we should have for others.. Instead of a wish list this year attempt a gift list.. Ask them to make a list of all the gifts they have received from God. Ask them to list what God has done for them and their families. Ask them to list 5 people they would like to help with their Faith in one way or another.. Make your gifts to Jesus this year by sharing the Gospel with your children..


GOD BLESS YOU & WE LOVE YOU ALL
