Good morning.


What a wonderful time of year! For those of us who are alive in Christ, the very air sparkles with excitement as we look forward to celebrating the birth of our Saviour and King. 


Let’s reflect on the baby who was born to be our sovereign Lord.


His birth was prophesied 700 years prior to His birth. Even the location was foretold: “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah ... out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” (Micah 5:2) Just think about that. The Son of God existed eternally and was the Creator of all things, yet He entered His own created world as a helpless baby. Jesus was anything but an ordinary baby. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit in a virgin’s womb. God’s Son in human flesh


An angel told Joseph to name Him “Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). The prophets said He would be called Immanuel, which means “God with us” (Matthew 1:23). Jesus is the God who became man to walk among us and be our Saviour.


"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  (Philippians 2:9‭-‬11)


We are forever thankful that He came, reached out to us and has given us the ultimate gift - the gift of eternal life.


Blessings.

Mike and Daphne
