Revelation 22:16

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things

in the churches.  I am the Root and the Offspring of David,

the Bright and Morning Star.”  (NKJ)

     Our Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ came to us just as God had promised; a Babe born to a virgin, in a stable, and wrapped in the swaddling clothes of a servant.  Jesus was the long awaited for Messiah, the One who would set Israel and the world free from the evil masters that controlled our existence; Satan, sin, and the fear of death.  The Savior came to not only save us, but to expose the Enemy as well.  He came as a Light for the lost—a Shepherd for His people.  Jesus came to do for mankind what no One else could do.  He came in love and filled with mercy and grace and power to fix the human race debacle. Jesus knew that without His sacrificial blood, we would have absolutely no chance of standing justified before Him on the Day of Judgment.  Our world that Satan stole would be unrecognizable without Jesus—it would be a world consumed in the darkness of evil with no way out.   

     And there really is Good News to proclaim; Jesus is alive and the world has His life-saving Light.  We are no longer trapped in the darkness of evil that consumes our world—we can get out! We can put on the robe of righteousness that Jesus purchased with His life's blood.  We can now live in the Son's Light and experience the joy of the Lord.  You have been given an inedible gift and to reject it is the worse decision that you will ever make, because you will never know the One who created you—the One who personally clothed Himself in a mere human body to save you from eternal destruction and to crown you with eternal life.

                                          A Whisper of Hope 

I am always with you, dear child...when you belong to Me; even in your darkest hour, I am there.  I loved you before I created you and I gave My life so that I could raise from the grave and bless you with eternal life.  I saved you for Me.

Luke 2:11

“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior,

who is Christ the Lord.  And this will be the sign to you: You will

find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”  (NKJ)

     All the world will know that I, the LORD, 

              am your Savior and Redeemer.

                                  (Isaiah 49:26)
