HIS BIRTH WAS A MIRACLE!

ChristmaSpirit.com





During my childhood, I saw many movies on
TV about a fat Santa coming down a chimney.
I looked at our chimney and figured out myself,
that this was strange. My mom said we got
gifts under our tree because we had been
obedient and were not selfish. We cared about
other people and helped her wrap and deliver
gifts to the needy in our neighborhood.

My parents also told me about Saint Nicholas. 
They put emphasis on his giving gifts to poor 
children. They said the tradition of spreading 
good will continued throughout the world.  

My parents and Sundays school teachers told me
and my siblings about Jesus' birth. The focus was
mostly on the shepherds, wise men, angels, and
the gifts Jesus received. I didn't hear about the
virgin birth until I was a teenager. 

My adult Bible study helped me see how truly
miraculous Jesus' birth really was.  I was
astounded when I learned he would later
bear stripes and die for our transgressions.

This week, I'll share Old Testament scriptures that
focus on the  prophecy of Jesus' birth.  The New
Testament scriptures will give details about His miraculous birth.


LIFE LESSON:

JESUS' BIRTH WAS PREDICTED!

PSALMS 72:11

Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him;
All nations shall serve Him.


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.


ISAIAH  9:6 

For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.



ISAIAH  11:1 


There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God.

Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
