Christmas 2014 “The Lord your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your teacher… your ears will hear a word behind you saying: ‘This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:20

And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people”. Luke 2:10

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6

Luke 2:12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.

The bells of waiting Advent ring The bells of waiting Advent ring. And is it true, This most tremendous tale of all, Seen in a stained-glass window’s hue, A Baby in an ox’s stall? The Maker of the stars and sea Become a Child on earth for me? And is it true? For if it is, No loving fingers tying strings Around those tissued fripperies, The sweet and silly Christmas things, Bath salts and inexpensive scent And hideous tie so kindly meant, No love that in a family dwells, No carolling in frosty air, Nor all the steeple-shaking bells Can with this single Truth compare – That God was man in Palestine And lives today in Bread and Wine.

Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.

  Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.    Zechariah 9:9   

Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

… it is Christmas time Wishing you a joyful and peaceful Christmas
