SO… IT’S CHRISTMAS

*

**

So we came to 2015 and it is Christmas.
Christmas is the time to remember the birth of Jesus.
 
“In the City of David, a Savior was born today, and He Christ, the Lord”.
 
This message changed the life of the ones who first listened it and still today, the same Jesus, who was born at Bethlehem, continues to revolutionize the heart of the ones who give the life to Him.
 
So, this time is more than a family reunion, or a time for gifts and feasts, but the celebration of the arrivel of the One who can bless your heart, your friends and your family.
 
Then, do not forget this gift: “For God so loved the world that He gave us His Only Son, in such a way that the person who believe in Him will not perish, but will have everlasting life”. “If with your mouth you confess Jesus as the absolute Savior and Lord of your life, and with your heart you really believe that he won over death and is alive, you will be saved by Him”.
He saves from the death of the soul and heart, He saves from the way of sin, and promise eternal life e peace to every person that gives the heart to Him.
 
As the shepherds went to Bethlehem, you also can go to Him, as the wise men gave Him their gifts, you can give Him what is more precious to you, and as He promised peace to the men who first listened about His birth, He promises peace to anyone that puts faith in Him, as He said: “Come to me you who is tired and overhelmed and I will give you rest”. “I came to give you life, and life with abundance”. “I give you my peace, and my peace is not given to you as the peace that the world is offering you, for this reason your heart does not need to have fear”. “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to the Father, except if coming by Me”.
