Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas! It is Christmas morning and I am the only one awake at the Chapman house. This will be the first Christmas in 4 years that we will be spending with our family. We are very thankful for this chance that we get to have with them this year! I went to bed late last night, but right before I went to bed I read the Christmas story out of Luke chapters 1 & 2. So I woke up this morning really thinking and meditating on the fact that GOD became flesh and dwelt among us! I mean, really stop and think about that - I cannot put into words (of any language) how thankful I am that He did this for us! So here are a few verses that really came to my mind...

"For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." 

Luke 2:11

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory"

1 Timothy 3:16

"but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men."

Philippians 2:7

"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel"

Isaiah 7:14

"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Isaiah 9:6

"And the Word became 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."

John 1:14

These are just to name a few, but they really ministered to me this morning! I pray that you are blessed with them as well! Merry Christmas to all and may we enjoy JESUS today!
