Unashamed of Jesus's avatarUnashamed of Jesus

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Enmity

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.” Genesis 3:15

The first prophecy of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ was In the Beginning. After Sin had entered into the world, God already had a redemption plan for humanity.  God prophesied that the Messiah (Christ) would be born through a Woman (Mary) and he would crush (bruise)  the serpent (Satan)

The word “Enmity” means Hostility. From the very beginning, starting in the Garden, God and Satan were at war with each other. Since the beginning Satan has been trying to kill off the Messiah (Christ) but has failed every time!

Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi.  Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: Matthew 2:16-17

Part of the Christmas story most don’t want to talk about , is when Satan used King Herod, to try and kill off the Messiah (Christ) Herod knew from the prophecies and the wise men that the Messiah has just been born in Bethlehem. This was warned by God through the prophet Jeremiah known as “Rachels Weeping”

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. John 19:30

Satan failed to eliminate Jesus, and when Christ said “It Is Finished” on the cross, his work was complete. At that moment Jesus crushed the head of Satan and abolished sin and death. The war has been won by Christ, it all started in the manger. Glory to our New Born King of Kings! Amen!

Lords Prayer

“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. ‘Give us this day our daily bread. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [ For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’ ]
Matthew 6:9‭-‬13 NASB

Fullness of Time

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, Galatians 4:4

The fullness of time came when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, born in a manger, born of a virgin. What a redemption story God has given us! When the fullness of the time came, God became human and lived among us. God came down to save us from our sins, the fullness of time has come!

But in order for God to save us , he must put himself Under The Law. In order for the covenant to be fulfilled or completed, God must fulfill The Law. Anyone who is Under the Law is cursed (Galatians 3:10) but anyone Under the Grace of Jesus Christ is Set Free!

so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Galatians 4:5

Jesus was born so he can redeem us from our Sins. Under The Law we were condemned to death, but through Jesus Christ he has made us Children of God. The greatest adoption happened in world history, through Christ we were adopted by the blood of Christ.

Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Galatians 4:6

By the works of Christ, we have become adopted as Children of God. After we receive Christ into our hearts, we are baptized by the Holy Spirit. God is no longer separated from us but now he is our Abba Father!

The fullness of time came on that Christmas morning, when we accept Christ we become Children of God Amen!

Seek Jesus

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

Are you seeking Jesus with all your heart, mind, and soul? The 3 wisemen  traveled over 900 miles from Persia (Iran) to Bethlehem, which probably took over 2 years to find the King Jesus. They read the prophecies from the scriptures and knew if this was true they better find out!

Many of us today have already heard the gospel of Christ, you heard about his crucifixion and resurrection, but many of you doubt. Have you seeked the Lord Jesus? If you don’t believe in the resurrection, have you done diligent research to disprove it? Many Atheists have tried this in the past and led to be Born Again once the truth has been revealed to them

Since the beginning of time God has wanted us to seek him. He tells the Israelites if they seek him, they will find him. Question is how many of them took him up on his offer? How many rather take the easy road and trust in the world rather than trust in their Creator?

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7

Jesus is saying the same thing today to You, Seek and you will find Him. The question is are you truly seeking Jesus or are you just listening to people? Knock on The Door (Jesus) and he will answer You!

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7:8

Who is allowed to Seek Jesus? EVERYONE, Jesus says everyone who seeks him will find him! The blood of Christ has allowed us to become Children of God and inherit his eternal Kingdom through Christ Amen!

Not Of This World

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” John 18:36

Jesus said his Kingdom is not of this world, then why we are so desperately holding on to this world? The problem with Christianity today is the “Church” is living for the world instead of living for Christ. They care more about money more than they care about morality. They care more about numbers, than they do about sound doctrine. Jesus is not of this world and neither should we

Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?”Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth.Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” John 18:37

Jesus came into this world, to save the world from our sins,not to live for this world. Everyone who is of truth, meaning everyone who is Born Again through Christ, listens to Jesus voice. We don’t listen to politicians , musicians, or athletes we only listen to Jesus Christ, our King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

Stop conforming to this world! Become transformed through Jesus Christ! Gods Kingdom is not of this world, follow the King of Kings to our eternal destiny Amen!
