God's Generous Heart On Display

 

As my pastor Dr. Jon Morales says, advent is nothing if not God's generous heart on display. This Christmas take a moment to reflect on the gift that God gave to humankind- Jesus Christ, our Savior.

The Promise of Salvation

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

-Genesis 3:15

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

-Isaiah 7:14

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

-Isaiah 9:6

The Incarnation: God With Us

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”

-Mathew 1:23

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."

-John 1:14

Christ's Humble Birth

"But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

-Luke 2:10-12
