It Was a Blessed 2025 – Christmas Celebration
(Ver 1.0) This has always been a very special time of year. Sure, I get a lot of criticism from people who say they are Christians and for some reason do not want to take time to focus on a time when much of the world celebrates one of the most joyous events in human history. Most informed people know it is not the actual date (Dec 25) of the birth of Jesus, yet this was a day chosen by someone to celebrate and since no one was there to see it, why not join in on the joy and stop the fighting?
It is high time to stop the fighting in the church over things that are not an issue unless someone wants to make it one. Until there is Biblical evidence proving the actual specific day, I will be happy to celebrate the birth of God giving us the most valuable Gift named Jesus with or without you. And, yes, I know the name Jesus is an English transliteration of a Greek name that is a Greek transliteration of a Hebrew name. Yet Jesus Himself is not stupid and He knows I speak English and when I speak about Him, I have no fear of condemnation from Him because He Loves us All and is more tolerant towards us, than many critics know.
Isa 9:6 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.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This time of year, I like to think of Isaiah 9:6 and John 3:16 and remember them as God’s Ultimate Gift Giving Declarations of Infinite Love. Because God chose to personally come into the world we live in, in the form of human flesh, He qualified Himself to be our Spotless Lamb sacrifice. God became a baby male child to be born in the city of David, called Bethlehem, even though this was not the city where His physical parents lived. Because God put it in the heart of the government to take a census of their people, Joseph and Mary were commanded to be in Bethlehem at the precise time that was prophesied for Messiah to appear on earth. What an amazing God He is to align everything to watch over His Words to perform them for His preplanned and designed time of Gift giving.
It should completely amaze us all that God would plan such a display of Love even before there was a time when one human had sinned that needed His salvation. This too in another amazing Love characteristic of our God. This teaches us God is an ultimate Supply for every need we may be having right now, whether it be spiritually, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Anyone that displays this kind of capacity of Love after humans have acted so hateful towards Him is too wonderful for us to imagine how truly Good God Is!
These are just a few of so many reasons why I am thankful for a God that saved me ~2000 years ago before I heard about it to receive it. I am also very thankful to have be trusted enough to be called to teach His Amazing Holy Words of the Good News salvation that is available to us all for free. I am finally thankful for people like you whom God loves that take the time to read and study the Bible with me.
So, join me to take the Love of God to the world that could die and go to hell without someone like us to share the Good News birth of Jesus and why He appeared in the form of a helpless baby. This took amazing humility for God to come into the world naked and die on a cross for us naked. Can you imagine God doing this for people that were mocking and cursing him? Yet He cried, “Father forgive them, they do not know what they do”. What amazing Love this was. And this Love is still available for anyone to experience today. If you have never done this before, please select the link below and see how you can begin this marvelous journey to know the God that Loved You First.
God Bless you and keep you safe as we end the year 2025 AD, and are about to enter into another new Year. We are living within times when it can be so easy to get our eyes off of Jesus. But remaining focused upon Jesus and looking for His soon return, while we spread His Words of Love fearlessly, is what I hope you will continue to do with me. I Love You All! More Bible lessons are coming soon, God willing. Please pray for us as we continue to pray for you. If you have a specific prayer request, leave it in a comment and we will always be happy to lift you and join with you in agreement for receiving God’s wisdom for victory over every situation the enemy attempts to bring. Remember 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God little children, and have overcome them, because greater is He that is within you, than he that is in the world”. Praise God!
Share what God has done for you in 2025 and encourage others.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 2022 – WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM
(Ver 1.0) This is the season for celebration. Many people enjoy times with their family in giving and receiving gifts. This seasonal time has been abused. This seasonal time of remembrance has become only commercialized to some. To others it has become a pagan holiday to be avoided. But to many others it is still a time of peace, love, joy and thankfulness for the True and living God’s arrival onto the planet earth in a manifested physical human form.
This blows the minds of a lot of people. How could the awesome, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent Creator become a part of His creation? Why would He do this? Behold this child that was born in a manger in Bethlehem, He is the Savior of the entire world. Come let us find and see Emmanuel, which is interpreted: “God with us” (Mat 1:23). If this is not enough cause to rejoice, then you do not understand very much about who He was, and what God has done by being born a baby human. He has made a way for humans out of this dark evil world by us choosing to join with Him in unity. This plan brought us His brand-new creation! But how does one become “born-again” to be a new creation ( 2 Cor 5:17)? The answer is found in a question that Jesus asked to His disciples:
Mat 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
Jesus asks his 12 close followers, the most significant question a human could answer. Jesus certainly had no doubts and knew exactly who He was. But how many people around Him knew who the Son of Man was? The disciples’ answers Jesus question with what they had heard people say about Him:
Mat 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Some say You are John the Baptist, some Elijah, some Jeremiah, and some just one of the prophets. None of the answers was correct. People obviously did not have a clue who this man was, that was walking with them. Do you know that what other people think, believe or know about Jesus will never help you personally? Even today some people still say, that He was just a prophet. Others think less of Him than that. So, Jesus makes the question more personal:
Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
This is the most important question you can answer today to save you from an eternity in hell. If you can answer this question correctly, you will be saved from a state of endless separation from the God who created you. Take notice how Peter one of the disciples answered correctly:
Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Wow! This was Peter’s winning “all in” response with no hesitations or doubts attached to it. This statement held such great confidence. Notice that Jesus did not deny the answer. People today have the same opportunity to give Jesus the correct answer. By anyone today confessing this reality of truth, causes us to make a personal confident affirmation that Jesus was God born in a manger in Bethlehem. It further affirms the belief that Jesus was a man that lived 33 ½ years on the earth in the flesh. Jesus was a man who was hung on a cross. Jesus was a man that died and was buried in a tomb for 3 days and nights. But it also means He was raised from the dead being the first born within a new creation. Then by acknowledging to Jesus that He is the Christ/Messiah, the Son of the Living God, we confirm to Him and everyone else that He is risen and alive forever more. Praise the Lord!
Therefore, during this time of out celebration of the birth of the Lamb of God in a manger, let us remember how blessed we are to know Him personally and to fellowship with Him daily. Romans 10:9-10 proclaims that if anyone will believe in their heart that Jesus was raised from the dead, and then confess with our mouth that Jesus is MY LORD, they will be saved! This is the number 1 priority for this website, to get people saved and then to bless them with the knowledge of the true Living God, so that they will never depart from this faith in Jesus Christ.
God bless you if you prayed this prayer for the first time. Please leave a comment acknowledging your decision to follow Christ. Jesus said very clearly, that if you acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge you before my Father in Heaven (Mat 10:32). It is absolutely essential for you to go and tell someone, and it does not have to be this website. You can go to your friend, a neighbor, a loved one, a family member. Just please tell someone, I made Jesus my LORD and Savior, and then open your Bible and begin to fellowship with Him. Ask Him to speak to you from His written Word to show you what He has given to you as a free gift.
Thank you to all readers and subscribers that pray for us on Agapegeek.com. We are blessed immensely to have the pleasure to spend time with those of like precious faith (1 Peter 1:1). God bless you all and “be a blessing” to someone today and have a very Merry Christmas!
