Good God Christmas Eve- The Gift Part 1 of 2

A Holy Christmas, Merry Christmas- Part 1

“And God sent a Gift to the World in the natural form of an infant, a little boy with a teardrop face. No more bondages to sin, it has been replaced by grace, bought by the blood of the Little Boy with a teardrop face.” sdukes

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17

For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. John 3:34

For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
John 6:38

Luke 1: 27-35
King James Version (KJV)
27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Mary said “yes.”

Matthew 1: 17-25
King James Version (KJV)

17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23Behold, a 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.
24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Joseph said “yes.”

Matthew 2
King James Version (KJV)
1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
12And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

The three Wise men said “yes.”

Prayer

Father God we come on the eve of the birth of Your only begotten son Jesus Christ of Nazareth in remembrance and reverence of your abiding and limitless love. We come in worship and praise as did the three wise men offering gifts. We come to the throne of grace so that You may be glorified and we come offering ourselves as gifts of love and service to the Kingdom of God.

We come in the name of Jesus with repentive hearts, restored minds and righteous spirits asking you to forgive us of anything we have done knowingly or unknowingly, commissioned or UN commissioned against Your Will, Your Way and Your Word. Father we give thanksgivings; we bless Your Holy Name. We Cry Holy is the Lamb of God and we say “yes” as did Mary, Joseph and the Wise Men. We will birth out what You plant in us to give to the world. We will make covenant with those You have appointed; and assist, protect, and travel with those You have anointed. We pray and pledge all these things in Jesus Christ’s Holy name, Your Son who was sent as Savior, Redeemer, and a gift of love. Amen.

Praying that you have a Holy and Merry Christmas
