In the first book of the Bible we are told how long ago when God first created the world he also created the first parents. They were named Adam and Eve. God made a beautiful garden for them named Eden to live in. However, there was one tree in the garden whose fruit was poisonous. God commanded them to stay away from it because if they ate of it they would die. The fruit contained the knowledge of good and evil. One day an evil spirit disguised as a snake entered into the garden and tricked Eve into eating from the poisonous tree. Adam also ate some of the bad fruit. Immediately they knew they had done wrong and were very ashamed. God cursed the snake and said to him:
Because God can’t allow any sin to go uncorrected he had to tell Adam and Eve to leave Eden. But God had a future plan to correct their wrong. One of Eve’s descendants, Jesus, would someday conquer death and put it firmly under his heel. |

Many years after the prophets and great leaders of the Old Testament passed away God selected a young maiden named Mary to be the mother of the Savior. She lived in Judah in a region called Galilee, and a city named Nazareth. Mary was a direct descendant of Adam and Eve, Abraham, and David. God sent the angel Gabriel to her with a message. Gabriel told Mary that she was to conceive a child and was to name him Jesus, and that he was to become a great ruler. Mary was troubled because she was a virgin, and she asked Gabriel how this could come to pass.
Hence the promise given to Eve that from her seed would come a redeemer is to find it’s fulfillment in Mary. |

Mary was engaged to a young man named Joseph, who was of the House of David, and was also a descendant of Adam and Eve, and Abraham. When Joseph found out that Mary was with child, he sought to have her put away in secret, as he was a thoughtful man and didn’t want Mary to be publicly disgraced. Joseph contemplated this plan when an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and told him not to worry about taking Mary as his wife since that which was conceived in her was of the Holy Spirit. He also told Joseph;
Joseph agreed to take Mary, a virgin, as his wife thus fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah. |

Shortly before the birth of Jesus, the emperor of Rome, Caesar Augustus, commanded that a count be taken of all the people of the world. Everyone had to go to their own city to register, including Mary, who was engaged to Joseph.
Therefore the exact location of the birth of the savior spoken about by Micah was to come true. |

In the same region at the time of the birth of Jesus, some shepherds were tending their flocks of sheep during the night. When an Angel of the Lord appeared before them, the shepherds were very afraid.
The angel said the child would be wrapped in cloths, and be found laying in a manger. Other angels then joined the first angel and they all sang praises to God. Then they ascended back to heaven. The shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Jesus, and told everyone what the angels had said. The shepherds then left giving praise and glory to God. So began the blessing given to Abraham unto all the Nations. |

When we ask the Lord for something, we ask in prayer. If you would like Jesus to come into your life, say this short prayer and believe. Father forgive me for I am a sinner. Help me to make a new life through the sacrifice of your son. I accept Jesus as Lord of my life, and through your grace repent of all wrong doing. If you have asked the Lord into your heart, you are now a born again child of the eternal family of God. If you celebrate Christmas by exchanging gifts this year, give out of love, not based upon merit, just as the heavenly Father gives to you. Let the receiver of the gift know it’s from you, and how much they mean to you. Never forget that the greatest gift of all is cause for celebration…forever!
