To the Editor:I, like many people in Elizabethton, like to see the Christmas lights at Golf route Acres and at the Bristol race tune. This year for the primary time in virtually 800 years we get to look a planetary alignment in the sky of Jupiter and Saturn that some say reminds them of the original Christmas star on December 21, 2020 in accordance with www.christianheadlines.comThese planetary alignments often cause extended earthquakes. We even have a comet this month on December 14, 2020, called Erasmus which ability love. we are having indications within the Heaven which the Bible says ability Jesus is returning quickly. probably the most normal Christmas culture is the giving and receiving of gifts. in the course of the hundreds of years of present exchanges there is one that qualifies because the most enjoyable and critical gift that has ever been given! As a remember of fact, it's the best reason we have this Christmas season. This most essential and exciting reward is th e reward of salvation through Jesus! The Bible says, "For through grace are you saved through religion; and that no longer of yourselves; it is the present of God: now not of works, lest any man should still boast." After following the famous person the wise men when they discovered Jesus they "had a good time awfully with superb joy" and fell down on their faces earlier than Jesus and worshiped Him. The wisest and most acceptable reaction to being within the presence of the King of Kings!a very good reward to give little ones or any one else is a real Bible, because it can change their existence. different books inform, handiest the true Bible transforms. I say actual Bible as these days many books have been posted which are referred to as Bibles that aren't. A paraphrase like "The dwelling Bible" or a nasty paraphrase like "The Message" aren't Bibles. To be a Bible it must be an accurate observe-for-note translation like the King James edition. Bible students s ay God selected the Bible's phrases, and never just its ideas and meanings, in a really purposeful method. The Bible's very message is altered and diminished when people paraphrase and tinker and tamper with the words. The Bible may still be interpreted literally no longer symbolically or spiritually. Jesus actually fulfilled 108 prophecies in his first coming. In Matthew 4, Jesus mentioned, "Man shall no longer are living via bread by myself, but by using every note that comes out of the mouth of God. Jesus pointed out obviously each be aware. As Psalm 30 says, "every word of God is (pure) flawless." God has given us actuality in every observe of the Bible and the actuality can't be superior on! At Christmas a great method to rejoice the word (Jesus) fitting flesh is to supply the note, read the notice and accept as true with the notice!Some Christians don't have a good time Christmas because it's develop into so commercialized and not concentrated on Jesus. we are seeing americans dashing to and fro as in no way earlier than to get gifts which is additionally a sign Jesus is coming. Paul tells Christians in 1 Corinthians to no longer have conflicts about minor issues and to make use of every opportunity to tell distinctive people about Jesus. Christmas is the superb opportunity to inform individuals about Jesus. Christians should make Christmas greater non secular and significant by means of analyzing the Bible, attending church and thanking God the father for sending Jesus to be the savior of the realm. The optimal gift is to examine the Christmas story from the Bible to your babies on Christmas. additionally study from the Bible every day to them and take them to church. The optimum gift you may give chums and household is write a number of sentences testimony of how Jesus has changed you and what Jesus skill to you and post it on fb. These are some the way to honor Jesus and make Christmas about more than gifts and greater than about you! that you may't buy the peace and hope Jesus gives. Even Dr. Seuss, "The Grinch," pointed out correctly, "maybe Christmas he thought doesn't come from a shop maybe Christmas perhaps potential a bit bit more!"a wonderful demonstrate with a Biblical focus for youngsters is, "A Charlie Brown Christmas." One Christian pointed out look for the climactic scene when Linus shares "What Christmas is all about," Linus drops his protection blanket for the primary time, when he utters the words, "fear no longer." handiest the delivery of Jesus gives us hope and peace and separates us from our fears. The Bible tells us nothing can separate Christians from the love of Jesus. no longer even COVID-19 or the soon coming seven-12 months tribulation when every thing that can be shaken can be shaken. This may well be the closing Christmas earlier than the rapture of Christians. Max Lucado observed, "when Jesus was born, so became our hope." The Bible says those whose hope is in Jesus could be blessed. whereas Christians appear lower back and remember with joy the start of Jesus, Christians are "hunting for that blessed hope, and glorious appearing of the super God and our Savior Jesus Christ!" Jesus' birth changed into and is "tidings of exquisite joy." an additional "tidings of extremely good pleasure" is quickly coming when Jesus says to his Christian family, "come up right here!"
