Worthy Of Celebration

Worthy Of  Celebration 

I was asking myself this question today.  Why is the celebrating of Jesus being born biblical?

Christmas is one of the greatest spiritual events that has ever taken place in history.  God himself opened the heavens and sent  a celebrating band of angels.  These angels  I'm sure sang though the bible does not say so.  

One of the reasons I believe they sang is that some angels have musical instrument in their bodies.   The bible says that they rejoiced and many times we too will gather to rejoice together on joyous occasions.  Most the time rejoicing includes music and singing.

Heaven is full of music, singing and praising, so even if they did not sing.  To think they may have  would not be unreasonable, knowing that God himself put musical instruments in some angles bodies.  They were living instruments of music.

God chose to have a great event to announce the Christ Child being born.  He did not have to open the skies of heavens glories to reveal something wonderful to lowly shepherds.  He did not have to let them witness the rejoicing of heavenly angels.  He could have chose some other way, but it was a celebration.

He chose to tell us of the celebration in His Word.  God made sure that Christ's birthday was recognized as a great day, and what a great day it still is.  God chose to make it part of His holy Word.   The historical occurrence has lead many people in the dark spiritually to the light of the world, (Jesus our Savoiur.)

Just as the shepherds watched their sheep in a dark night, 

God's heavenly angels filled the dark skies with light.  

God then opened their eyes to fully understand.  

That God, that night had provided himself a lamb.

The occasion called for something special from heaven's bright land.  A celebration of God's promise of a Saviour fulfilled.

Jesus'  birth is totally worthy of celebration.  With rejoicing, singing and praising God.

 Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb 

(This is old testament prophecy of God providing the lamb of God, His Son,

as the sacrifice for our sin.)

Jesus Carried You Through

Jesus Carried You Through

 

I prayed that the Lord would bless you;
For all the sacrifices made.
You truly are a hero;
Because so many lives were saved.

 

You stood for right in blackest night;
And Jesus carried you through.
You are a champ and  there's  no doubt;
God's grace abides on you.

Stop, Running From Love

Stop, Running From Love

Stop, running from love!
Stop, running from love!
The greatest love known;
The love of all loves.

He so loved the world;
He laid down His life.
He paid sins great price;
A pure sacrifice.

You can't hide from God;
He sees all your sin.
But you are washed clean;
When you come to Him.

Stop, running from love!
Stop, running from love!
A life changing love;
The love of all loves.

Forgiveness and peace;
Salvation secured.
A hope that will last;
A home that is sure.

A love that will change;
Your heart forever.
A love that will shine;
That none can sever.

Stop, running from love!
Stop, running from love!
God's most awesome love;
The love of all loves.

A love so wondrous;
A love so divine.
And so glorious;
And so very kind.

A love undeserved;
A love given free.
When He shed His blood;
On mount Calvary.

Stop, running from love!
Stop, running from love!
A most perfect love;
The love of all loves.

How Could We Forget So Soon? Easter

How Could We Forget So Soon?

An Easter Prayer  Poem About God's Provision

How could we forget so soon;

The agony you faced for us that day?

How could we forget so soon;

The sacrifice you were willing to pay?

How could we forget at all;

The miracle of your resurrection?

How could we forget at all;

Your power revealed in all creation?

Not one mountain is too tall;

The greatest ocean is never too wide.

No problem or obstacle;

Is too enormous- you still can provide.

Hells power could not keep you;

Life returned to your lungs that Easter day.

The angels stood by your tomb;

With great force, the tomb's stone was rolled away.

There you stood in the doorway;

Our victorious risen Holy Lord.

Death and Hell could not keep you;

You provided love to this world.

Perhaps the birds were singing;

Maybe Easter lilies lined the pathway.

Did the angels rejoice there;

In celebration of that Holy day?

We serve a  risen Savoir.

You see our hearts and know our faintest cry.

We serve a loving Savior.

Your grace is never lacking in supply.

Not one mountain is too tall;

The greatest ocean is never too wide.

No problem or obstacle;

Is too enormous -  you still can provide.

There Is A Place

There Is A Place

There is a place that's wonderful;
Too wonderful to tell.
A place that is so glorious;
Where angels live and dwell.

Where happiness forever reigns;
No death forevermore.
Where Rubies, diamonds, precious stones;
Could decorate the floor.

There is no darkness in the sky;
No tears will fill the eye.
The songs will be sung joyfully;
No one will want to cry.

Amazing things will happen there;
Every single day.
No tongue will ever crush a soul[
Nor steal their life away.

No child will ever hunger there;
No pain will take control.
The crippled there will walk again;
Each broken heart made whole.

A golden street will lead the way;
To homes He has prepared.
Forever we will worship him;
Praise Him because He cares.

In heaven we will see His scars;
And fully comprehend.
The magnitude of what He did;
When He died for our sin.

His precious blood was shed for us;
His hands nailed to the cross.
His temples wounded with great thorns;
 His mother suffered loss .

His feet were pounded with the nail;
His mouth was torn and dry.
But yet with a heart of real love;
"Father forgive them!", was His cry.

In heaven we will see His scars;
And fully understand.
Like we've never understood before;
When we behold those hands.

We will love like we've never loved;
His joy will fill each word.
And when we look upon His face;
True worship will be heard.

In heaven we will see His scars;
And fully comprehend.
exactly what He did for us;
And what it did to Him.
