Do You Really Know Christmas?
Many people say Merry Christmas, but, do they know who Christ is?
And that the babe of Bethlehem, now reigns above as Savior of men.
They sing the weary world rejoices, but, does this include all voices?
For the joy that this speaks of, is in regards to God’s Amazing Love.
Do all men really know The King, in the songs that they love to sing?
And if they never receive the Gift, in sinful darkness continue to drift.
Men sing of His birth in a stall, but do they know Christ came for all?
For The King over all of Eternity, was born as baby, for you and me.
Why are all at Christmas rushed, as our Savior’s Name is so hushed?
Going for gifts, from store to store, while The Lord we silently ignore.
While they trim the Christmas tree, do they think at all about Calvary?
For Christ didn’t come to live, but, He came with His very life to give.
Men sing of peace upon the earth, but, is it a peace of lasting worth?
God’s Peace, many don’t receive, for in His Son they do not believe.
And if Christmas Cheer fills the air, why do so many hearts despair?
For this Holiday time, you will find, stresses many, a heart and mind.
If Christmas is all about The Lord, why does Jesus go quite ignored?
Many dismiss God’s Holy Day, while in sin and error, they pine away.
Could it be that this Holy Season, for many has no rhyme or reason?
While in their heart and their life, they truly do not know Jesus Christ.

Christ Was Born For Us
Christ was born as Hope for all; when born a tiny baby in a stall,
He was born as the Savior of men, in the tiny town of Bethlehem.
He was born in a quiet place, as The King of God’s chosen race.
He was God’s Gift to all men, for it was by God that He was sent.
As a young boy not much is said, about Christ’s life in Nazareth.
One event that we are told, He was at the Temple at 12 years old.
One thing that Christ told us, He was about His Father’s business.
The Word is silent until we see, The Lord Jesus begin His Ministry.
Jesus lived His life for all to see, what God expects of you and me.
He had but one job to fulfill, and that was to do His Father’s will.
Peter stated, He was The Christ, but He came to offer men His life.
Christ lived for us a sinless life, in a dark world of sinful strife.
The end of His life is why he came, to die for us a death of shame.
On the cross, a sinless Lamb died a wicked death, for sinful man.
But unlike a lamb or common man, our Lord and Savior rose again.
Over sin and death He had victory, so that man could live Eternally.
The Son of God came to earth, to offer fallen man a second birth,
The Immortal God came to give, all mortal men a new life to live.
Believe the reason why He came, and you will never be the same.
So Friend, become Born Again, so when you die you will live again.

His Majesty
It will be unmatched by anything, the coming majesty of our King,
Fully unmatched and unsurpassed; a majesty that will forever last.
His Majesty, witnessed by a few, whom The Lord personally knew,
The Majesty of God’s Only Son, appearing on Earth for everyone.
Many know Him as their Savior, Jesus Christ, our God and Creator,
Though we’ve yet to see His Majesty, we’ll behold it for all Eternity.
Majesty, that we worship presently, we’ll worship together eternally,
When we see Christ face to face, after we’re lifted up by His Grace.
Even all, who don’t believe as us, who in Christ, have put their trust,
Shall see His Majesty up in the sky, as Christ returns with you and I,
This, as all eyes on earth will see, the coming of our Lord’s Majesty,
But as the Judge, for all of them, who in unbelief stand condemned.
The time for believers is drawing near, when the trumpet we will hear,
When we’re gathered to our Savior’s side, as His Holy Chosen Bride.
Presently, we cannot fully appreciate, the Glory of Christ as we wait,
Neither can we truly comprehend, Christ’s Eternal Majesty my friend.
Together with the saints of old, Christ’s Glory we shall soon behold,
As we see the Majesty of Christ, who rose, to give men Eternal Life.
The splendor of His coming friend, shall bring a dark age to its end,
As He brings this age to a close, with a Majesty, that no one knows.

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged
to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with
child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and
did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But
after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is
conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give
him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place
to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will
give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."
(Matthew 1:18-23)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared
to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and
worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and
godly lives in this present age, while we wait for The
Blessed Hope—the glorious appearing of our great God
and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us
to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself
a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good."
(Titus 2:11-14 )
