The word for today is - Savior !

Merry CHRISTmas!
The word for today is - Savior !
Do you know what today is? Read Luke 2:10-11,"I bring you good tidings (news) of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Did you get that ? He was born of a virgin woman!  Read Matthew 1:23,  “Behold, the 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.” Elizabeth, Mary’s relative, praised Mary in Luke 1:42-44,read it, but her praise is based on the blessing of giving birth to the Messiah. Read Luke 1:28; John 5:23,  Mary the mother of Jesus was described by God as “highly favored”. That means “much grace." Mary received God’s grace. Grace is “unmerited favor,” meaning that something we receive despite the fact that we do not deserve it. Mary needed grace from God just as the rest of us do. Mary herself understood this fact, as she declared in Luke 1:47, And my spirit hath  rejoiced in God my Saviour. Did you get that ?( not her son), but her Saviour.  That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent Him. Why should I accept Christ as my Savior"? The word tells us that, Spiritual Death entered into the world when Adam sinned. Read Genesis 2:17, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Understand who saved you from spiritual death. Jesus died to pay for the sins of mankind (the believers). However, he rose again, conquering death and making it possible to be saved. Believe that He( laid down his life for us ) died (the body, not His Spirit), he was buried, and He rose again from the dead as your Savior.  Thank you God for loving us, that you gave us the greatest gift of all, your one and only Son Jesus. Thank you for your word. Amen !
