The Greatest Gift If We Only Receive





The Greatest Gift If We Only Receive



Photobucket  
 
The Son of God on CHRISTmas Day was conceived
For the greatest gift to be given to all who'd believe
A girl named Mary believed to be fifteen at the time
Would be used as the vessel to birth Our Saviour Divine


 
While all life is a gift given from heaven above
This miracle baby was Emmanuel-God with us
Born of a virgin without sin He would then live
To be the perfect sacrifice for our salvation to give


 
Through technology of science the actual star was seen
Coupled with the shepherds in the field the truth leads
It would have been too cold for them if it was december
Narrowing it down being conceived was viable for us to
celebrate and remember(only God knows the actual date)


 
Now in the gospel is hidden mysteries to seek
When Jesus was born and laid in a manger
It was actually a feeding troth that was for to eat
Being the bread of life for us God chose this to be


 
As far as no room in the inn there is a reason too
For after a child is born there is an issue of blood
Back then women were considered unclean not allowed in public
Until they were past the time of their monthly to do a
ceremonial sacrifice


 
And actually the wisemen wasn't to be in the nativity
For they traveled long and wouldn't reach Jesus a year or so later
That's why Herod sent out to have children under two killed
Hoping He could kill the young Child Jesus our Saviour and King


 
For they were in a house at the time the wisemen arrived
Many stories we've been taught differs from truth described
It wasn't until studying and searching out this truth I realized
Many stories I was raised up to believe was manmade revised


 
But no matter how the story is taught or believed
The only important thing to know is Jesus we must receive
For no man is promised tomorrow when each day is done
And free will is given for us to choose or deny God's Son

 
 
Jesus said lest a man be born again he will not enter heaven
He loved us while still sinners to die for our salvation to be given
All you have to do is invite Him into your heart and life
Then He will wash away your sins and give his spirit to guide


 
So as you celebrate this precious gift above all things
Remember He came to give life to all that had fallen
For satan's cause came santa clause to rob Jesus of praise
When we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas it radiates
God's Amazing Grace!


 
Thank-you Jesus and Bless all that enter into truth this day.
Merry CHRISTmas Everybody and let us give thanks always
To Our Divine Savior and King-EVERYDAY,To God Be The Glory!
Lovingly In Christ; Pastor Linda Begley

Below I have added the verses that tell all the Christmas Story
Only for those that want to read the whole story :-)
Through bible study and trusted scholars teachings my poem was birthed.
ALL holidays on our calendars are manmade.So in bringing you the
truth I want to remind you of John 10:10 and think of how the season
being distorted has cost people financially,and even some suicides,
This isn't abundant life that Jesus came to give,and if we worship him
in any celebration HE alone is honored,not an idol.
Through every manmade holiday the enemy has managed to be
exalted by many unaware.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth,and the truth shall make you free.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.
 
  

“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things;
 and holy is his name.” Luke 1:46-47, 49 KJV
 
Our Divine Saviour and King Prophesied - Isa.9:6 & Isa.7:13-14
For unto us a childis born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 7:13-14 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it
a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
 
The Angel Gabriel Visits Mary/conception -Luke 1:26-38
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was
sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,  
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph,
 of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou
that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed
art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying,
and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel,How shall this be,
seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come
upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall
be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a
son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her,
who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
 

 The Birth- Luke 2:4-24
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger;
because there was no room for them in the inn.
(explanation-because Mary would be unclean and there was a festival,
there was no way she could avoid contact of others or so they thought
but God Himself was there for hedge of protection when the shepherds came
this was spoken to my spirit in re the protection, the inn keepers unaware)
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the
Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
 good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
 heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into
heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass,
 which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph,
 and the babe lying in a manger.
         ****
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child,
 his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before
 he was conceived in the womb.
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses
were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem,to present him to the Lord;  
23 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth
the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the
law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
(ref.Lev.15:25-30)

The Wise Men - Matt.2:1-23

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod
 the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have
seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,
and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of
the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is
written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among
the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor,
that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired
of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently
 for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again,
 that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star,
which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood
 over where the young child was.
                ***********
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child
                      *********************************************
                                                      
with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when
they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts;
 gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return
 to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
*******************************************************************
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth
 to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child
 and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I
bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
********************************************************************
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night,
and departed into Egypt:
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled
 which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men,
was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children
that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof,
from two years old and under, according to the time which he had
diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which
 was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping,
and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children,
and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth
in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
************************************************************
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother,
 and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought
the young child's life.
*************************************************************
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother,
and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room
of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding,
being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
