Jesus Christ: Messiah, the Greatest gift of Christmas.

Using SOAP Method in daily bible study..

Scripture:

Mat 1.1 "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham."

Observe:

Christ = Messiah : the anointed One.
He is the promised One.

the son of David, the son of Abraham.

God Promised the Messiah since human first sinned. He promised Messiah in the time of king David (he promised to David), and even in the time of Abraham (promised to Abraham)..

Application:

This how God keeps and fulfills His promises: Through generation, he never fails.

Pray:

God I thank you for all of Your promises.. and for who You are.

I'm so thankful having You as my Master, as my Deliverer, as my Savior..

I'm so thankful knowing that You never fail to fulfill Your promise..

Help me LORD to stand in the truth not by what i see and experience but by faith that You never fail,.. that You keep Your promises through generations...believing that You are the LORD of the breakthrough, that You are beyond everything, beyond my problems.. thank You LORD.. You are amazing...

In JESUS' mighty name I believe and Pray.

Amen

'IMMANUEL' /εμμανουηλ/ = God with us.

-update 1 (Dec 12,2010) -
last night we had our church' prayer meeting at our new place.
Trying for not being too emotional, we fell and enjoyed the presence of the LORD there.

In the midst of our prayer, I was reminded about this revelation of 'who our GOD is'..

here I want to share, the message of Christmas.

Bible says "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel;" (Mat 1.23 - as you can see in the youversion widget on the side of this page)

So now we know what is the message of Christmas:
GOD is with us. God of the ages, The Creator of universe, LORD of all creations, the Beginning and the End, is with us..
He didn't hold His mercy, He didn't hold His holiness, He didn't care about His richness.
The most wonderful thing is that He didn't hold His Only Begotten Son to give to us, for He so loved the world...
Thus to show us that He wants to be with us, that He wants us so bad, that He is madly in love with us..

He wants us to know that He is with us.

-end of update 1-

God fulfills his promises. (see my blog about the Alpha and Omega /το αλφα και το ω/ /את/)

so,what is his promise to us?

'IMMANUEL' /εμμανουηλ/=God with us.

that His Presence is so real..

Matthew 1.22-23

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[g] (which means “God with us”).
