On The Outside Looking In(CHRISTmas)





On The Outside Looking In(CHRISTmas)
Photobucket


In many homes Jesus is on the outside looking in
The uninvited guest in this sacred season of celebration
He stands at the door and knocks yet unopened to Him
On many minds the presents instead of His Presence matter to them
 
He stands and listens as the lies to children unfolds
"These gifts came from Santa" and it is when they behold
The big jolly man in a red suit they give praises to
Religiously they celebrate while Christ is mentioned by few
 
With each passing year even the stores try to remove
The very mention of Christ name for those that disapprove
How can any celebrate and take Christ out of their CHRISTmas?
I tell you friend it all began with replacing Him with satan's mess
 
It began with his lies leading many astray
How ludicrous is it not to be the guest of your own birthday?
It is the date established to celebrate the Christ Child
Being the greatest gift ever given to all mankind
 
Often left unopened as on the outside He resides
Many don't take any thought for us He was born to die
For God so loved the world He gave Jesus as our sacrifice
Hoping by showing His love in return for Him we'd live our lives
 
Because He first loved us we should love and adore Him too
For He said;"If you love Me my commandments you will do."
His first commandment is to love him above all other
Jesus said;"For whosoever shall do the will of God,
the same is My brother,and My sister and mother."
 
Jesus came not into this world to condemn
But that we might be saved and have eternal life through Him
Many say with their mouth that they are christians
Yet they celebrate Christmas by glorifying santa/satan
 
The worse thing of all unbelievers they try not to offend
When the very breath we breathe is given by Him
For nothing was made without Him from beginning to end
The Alpha and the Omega the only Savior of all men
 
Do you have Jesus on the outside looking in?
Worship Him in spirit and in truth make Him the Only reason
For the celebration you have on this sacred time of season
If you celebrate without Him it's no different than the pagans
 
To know Him is to love Him without a doubt I say
Only what's done for Christ will matter anyway
In all you do in word or deed do as unto the Lord
For it is written we'll be justified or condemned by our words
 
Truly the real Christmas Tree...
Was the Cross that Jesus died on
For both you and me...
Known as the Cross of Calvary

Matt.1:18-25
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,
before they came together,
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to
make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold,
the angel of the LORD
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph,
thou son of David,
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for that which is conceived
in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel,
which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:
and he called his name JESUS.

Rev.3:20-21
20 Behold, I stand at the door,and knock:if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me.

Mark 3:31-35
31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and,
standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him,
Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him,
and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
35 For whosoever shall do the will of God,
the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Col.3:17
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Matt.12:36-37
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Rev.21:6-7
6.And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst
of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7.He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
 
John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
 but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
