Why Did Jesus Come as a Baby?He came to fulfill prophecies from of old Hundreds of years before, just as foretold Pointing to a Messiah and coming Savior Some today still try hard to earn His favor He came to earth as God in human flesh To show us His Father in all humbleness Helpless as an infant, He grew in stature Perfect, without sin, by His divine nature He came to rescue man from sins and to save His mission the cross, victory over the grave He is eternal, life did not start at Bethlehem Salvation freely given to all who come to Him He came relating to weaknesses we endure Every temptation, emotion, and pain for sure Immanuel, God with us, He was touchable By prayer, He is reachable and approachable He came to make our hope of Heaven secure He came down, redeemed will go up for sure Christ living in you is the only way, my friend Without Him, torture in Hell will be your end May the true meaning of Christmas fill your soul Only the blood of Jesus makes you spiritually whole Problems and sorrows will still come into your life But Jesus promises you strength in the midst of strife Isaiah 7:14 (NIV) Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Luke 1:30-31, 34-35 (NIV) 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.” 34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" 35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.” © Carol Salter for Christmas 2008 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
