A Blessed Christmas

The blessedness of Christmas is all “wrapped up” in the person of Jesus. Our relationship to Him determines the measure of our blessing.
Blessing in His Name
Thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins.
Matthew 1:21
Blessing in His Purpose
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
Blessing in Receiving Him
But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.
John 1:12
Blessing in Belonging to Him
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. Romans 14:8
