I kneel for Jesus…
“Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 NLT
I kneel for Jesus and I exalt His Holy name! Jesus is the reason for the season!
I L-O-V-E Jesus! I L-O-V-E Christmas –with a passion– because this is the time of the year that we (Christians) celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Woo Hoo! God’s beloved Son was born to die so that you and I can live eternally with Him. Jesus is the gift that keeps on giving. Priceless! Yes, this is the greatest birthday celebration ever! This is why I kneel for Jesus and exalt His Holy Name!
The Greatest LOVE Story
Now let’s get right into this fascinating LOVE story. I never get tired of reading it, hearing it, seeing it and sharing it. Here it goes straight from the Bible….
Old Testament prophecy of the Birth of Jesus
“Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a Virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, And shall call His name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14 KJV
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: And the government shall be upon His shoulder: And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
The Birth of Jesus foretold
“Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!” Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God! You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name Him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His ancestor David. And He will reign over Israel forever; His Kingdom will never end!”” Luke 1:28-33 NLT
“Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”” Matthew 1:19-21 NLT
The Birth of Jesus
“And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her first born. She gave birth to her first child, a son.” Luke 2:6 NLT
“That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior – yes, the Messiah, the Lord – has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!”” Luke 2:8-11 NLT
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” Luke 2:14 NLT

Hey You! Do you want to go to Heaven?
There is only one way to God and to heaven, His name is Jesus. If you have decided to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, Alleluia! Please know that you have made the most important life or death decision you’ll ever make in your life. You will never regret making this life changing decision.
Now say this prayer…
Our Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus I call on You according to Acts 2:21 (NIV): “And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. God our Father, I ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10 (NLT): “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.” I do that now! With my mouth I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. Lord, hear my prayer. Amen
When you exhale your last breath on earth, you will inhale your first breath in heaven!
