“For God so loved the World He gave…” Jesus loved so much He took off His God suit and put on a human suit, left heaven and came to earth.
At the time JESUS appeared as a Babe in Bethlehem, Israel had been without a prophet for more than five hundred years. There had been No Word from Heaven. No Fresh Revelation. No Holy Ghost Visitation. There was No Vision and No Visitation. Human hearts were stricken with barrenness and emptiness. God seemed to be gone and heaven appeared to be brass. Prayers were prayed in vain, and religion had lost its life. Spiritual Desperation had swept over Israel.
Godly people were at the mercy of a Political Monster. Rome was in power, and Caesar was their god. Humanistic philosophers and unbridled immorality ruled. The Roman Army was cruel, savage, and merciless. Poor people were the pawns of injustice, slavery, oppression, and fear.
The sick remained sick until they died. The lame remained crippled, and the blind remained sightless. The bruised and broken and found NO ANSWER. People were hurting and hearts were crying. Jesus came to HEAL and HURTING WORLD.
Some of you are hurting. This is not a time of “great joy” and “celebration” it is a time of heaviness, sadness, grief, and despondency. Some of you are bruised and wounded and lonely and forgotten. Sin and satan have taken their toll and despair has set in. Suicide seems logical and quitting is easier than coping. All the lightheartedness and celebration only send you deeper into despair.
I have news for you… GOOD NEWS! Jesus came to HEAL YOUR HURT. He is more than a BABE wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a MANGER… HE IS THE LORD GOD WHO REIGNETH FOREVER! He is here NOW to bless, rescue and restore you. He is here to fix your brokenness and bring you out of your slough of despair.
At this special season HE is reaching out to you. Everything you see that is about Christmas is a reminder from God that HE LOVES YOU and gave HIS LIFE for you.
