The Lord Jesus Christ whom we exalt at Christmas is not just a baby in a manger.  

He is not a character in a children's story, He's much more.

The first time He came, He came veiled in the for. Of a child.

The next time He's comes and it make be soon but He will come unveiled and it will be abundantly and immediately clear to all the world who He really is.

The first time He came, a star marked is arrival.

The next time He comes, the whole heavens will roll up like a scroll, and all the stars will fall out the sky, and He will be the only light.

The first time He came, wise men and shepherds brought Him gifts.

The next time He comes, He will bring gifts, rewards for his own.

The first time He came, there was no room for Him.

The next He comes the whole world will not be able to contain His glory.

The first time He came, only a few attended His arrival.

The next time He comes every eye shall see Him as He is.

The first time He came as a baby.

Soon He will come as Sovereign King and Lord. 

Are you ready for His return?

• About The Heart- The only blind person at Christmastime is he who has not Christmas in his heart.

--Helen Keller

Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart. - George Mathew Adams

This is Christmas: not the tinsel, not the giving and receiving, not even the carols, but the humble heart that receives anew the wondrous gift, the Christ. - Frank McKibben

• All About Jesus

He came, not as a flash of light or as an unapproachable conqueror, but as one whose first cries were heard by a peasant girl and a sleepy carpenter. God tapped humanity on its collective shoulder, "Pardon me," he said, and eternity interrupted time, divinity interrupted carnality, and heaven interrupted the earth in the form of a baby. Christianity was born in one big heavenly interruption.

Max Lucado

The very purpose of Christ's coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die. This is the heart of Christmas.

--Rev. Billy Graham

A scientist said, making a plea for exchange scholarships between nations, "The very best way to send an idea is to wrap it up in a person." That was what happened at Christmas. The idea of divine love was wrapped up in a Person. - Halford E. Luccock

If we could condense all the truths of Christmas into only three words, these would be the words: "God with us." We tend to focus our attention at Christmas on the infancy of Christ. The greater truth of the holiday is His deity. More astonishing than a baby in the manger is the truth that this promised baby is the omnipotent Creator of the heavens and the earth!

John MacArthur

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs? ~G.K. Chesterton

Adjust Your Tuner

Have you ever looked around at your own life or the life of the Church and wondered why it's taking the Lord so long to get things in order? If so, let me tell you something I learned a few years ago. He's not the One who's slow. We are! It's not God's fault that the Church still has spots and wrinkles. It's not His fault that we're not living in total victory. He's always ready. He's the great "I AM." We're the ones who fall short.

Compare it to turning on a radio. If you don't have it tuned to exactly the right frequency, you won't be able to hear the station. It's not the station's fault. It's sending out signals perfectly. The problem is you haven't tuned in to it.

That's what's happening with you and me. We haven't fine tuned our spirits enough to pick up the voice of the Spirit. Oh, we pick up a few things now and then, but mostly we just fade in and out. We don't stay on God's wavelength all the time.

How do you adjust your spiritual tuner? By praying according to His will and not our own!
You see, God knows how to deliver His people. He knows how to turn us into the glorious Church without spot or wrinkle. He has a plan that will do it. And if we'll tap into that plan and start releasing it into the earth by praying according to His will and not our own, this age will draw to a close quickly. If we'll all get our minds and hearts in tune with what God's doing, there will be an explosion of the power of God that will turn this world around!

Start adjusting your spiritual tuner today. Spend an hour praying according to His will. Set your spirit on God's wavelength and just see how quickly the spots and wrinkles begin to disappear from you.
