JESUS

Matthew 1:1, 21 - "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham....And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call His name JESUS:  for He shall save His people from their sins."

Mark 1:1 - "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God."

Luke 2:8-11 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:  and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not:  for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, Who is Christ the Lord."

John 1:1-5, 9-14 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The Same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.  In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.  And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not....That was the true Light, Who lights every man that comes into the world.  He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.  He came unto His own (people, the Jews), and His own received Him not.  But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:  who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

THOSE WHO LOVE JESUS LONG FOR HIS RETURN!

LORD, MAY IT BE TODAY!
