Some titles for the expected Messiah seem strange to us, such as "Everlasting Father" or "Angel of Great Council." But the Fathers of the Church understood their great significance and will explain them to us as we conclude this short series on the Messianic prophecies.

We would love to hear from you… Hope you are blessed listening to our podcast. God bless youBro. Bill Stevens recitation "What is the meaning Grace"

Read OnlineMerry Christmas! Our Advent preparations have been completed, and we are now invited by our Lord to enter into the glorious celebration of His birth!How well do you understand the awe-inspiring mystery of Christmas? How fully do you comprehend the significance of God becoming a human, born of a virgin? Though many are quite familiar with the beautiful and humble story of the birth of the Savior of the World, that familiarity can have the surprising negative effect of keeping our intellect from deeply probing the depths of the meaning of what we celebrate.Notice the last line of the Gospel passage quoted above: “And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.” What a beautiful line to ponder this Christmas day. Mother Mary was the one person who would have understood the mystery of the birth of her Son, the Son of God, the Savior of the World, far more deeply than anyone else. It was to her that the Archangel Gabriel appeared, announcing her pregnancy and His birth. It was her who carried her Son, the Son of God, in her Immaculate womb for nine months. It was to her that Elizabeth, her cousin, cried out, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:42). It was Mary who was the Immaculate Conception, the one who was preserved from all sin throughout her life. And it was her who gave birth to this Child, carried Him in her arms and nursed Him at her breast. Our Blessed Mother, more than any other, understood the incredible event that had taken place in her life. But, again, the Gospel above says that “Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.” One thing this tells us is that even Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of God, needed time to ponder, reflect and savor this most holy mystery. She never doubted, but her faith continually deepened, and her heart pondered the unfathomable and incomprehensible mystery of the Incarnation.Another thing this tells us is that there is no end to the depth of the “pondering” to which we must commit ourselves if we want to enter more deeply into the mystery of the birth of the Son of God. Reading the story, setting up a nativity scene, sharing Christmas cards, attending Mass and the like are central to a holy celebration of Christmas. But “pondering” and “reflecting,” especially during prayer and especially at the Christmas Mass, will have the effect of drawing us ever deeper into this Mystery of our Faith. Reflect, today, with our Blessed Mother. Ponder the Incarnation. Place yourself into the scene that first Christmas. Hear the sounds of the town. Smell the smells of the stable. Watch as the shepherds come forth in adoration. And enter the mystery more fully, acknowledging that the more you know about the mystery of Christmas, the more you know how little you actually know and understand. But that humble realization is the first step to a deeper understanding of what we celebrate this day.Lord, I gaze at the wonder of Your birth. You Who are God, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, God from God and Light from Light, became one of us, a humble child, born of a virgin and laid in a manger. Help me to ponder this glorious event, to reflect upon the mystery with awe and to more fully grasp the meaning of what You have done for us. I thank You, dear Lord, for this glorious celebration of Your birth into the world. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc.

How accurate is the Nativity story as portrayed in popular media like The Chosen, Jesus of Nazareth, and The Nativity Story? We explore whether these depictions align with biblical accounts and Church teachings. Did the Blessed Virgin Mary experience pain during childbirth? Drawing from Scripture, Church doctrine, and mystical visions of saints like Anne Catherine Emmerich and St. Augustine, we reflect on the miraculous birth of Christ and its deeper spiritual meaning. Join us as we rediscover the mystery and beauty of the first Christmas.U.S. residents!

Continuing our study of Old Testament prophecies about the birth of Christ, we will see how the prophets clearly foretold not only the birth of a human Messiah, but something much more extraordinary: that the Messiah would also be God Himself.

At Christmas, Jesus came to bring God-exalting happiness through peace with God — and merciful warfare against everything that destroys such happiness.

Look to Jesus this Christmas. Receive the reconciliation that he purchased. Don't put the gift on the shelf unopened.

In Part 1, Timothy Mahoney and Dr. Fred Baltz discuss the census described in Luke Chapter 2 during the birth of Christ.         Critical scholars have claimed that Luke is inaccurate for noting Quirinius as Roman 'Governor' of Syria at this time, thus throwing the historicity of his Gospel into question.          However, are these scholars searching in the correct time, was Quirinius in a different type of governing role, and are they looking for the right type of census? Moreover, has Herod the Great's death been dated properly? An amazing pattern of evidence is revealed, illustrating that Luke's Gospel is true history!         If you'd like to see the video vesion of this episode, follow this link to our Patterns+ platform!

Jesus was born in Bethlehem in accordance with the prophecies of the Old Testament. The first to come and give honor to Jesus as the Messiah were shepherds and wise men. We celebrate with them in the coming of the Savior and the joy and hope that he brings to the world. 1. Jesus was born! Luke 2:1-7 Mary and Joseph left Nazareth in Galilee and traveled to Bethlehem where Jesus was then born. Jesus was wrapped in swaddling cloth and was placed in a manager. A manger was not an outdoor animal shack as is popularly depicted in Christmas manger scenes but was a small space inside the house for animals. 2. The shepherds were the first to know! Luke 2:8-20 The angel announced to the shepherds the birth of the Savior, who is Messiah and Lord. The sign for them was that a baby would be wrapped in swaddling cloth and lying in a manger. 3. Wise men from far away came to honor the birth of the King! Matthew 2:1-12 The wise men were magi from the east who were trained at reading the planetary and astral movements in the sky. They traveled immense distances to honor the birth of Jesus, the King of the Jews. They apparently were well-versed in the Old Testament prophecies because they knew exactly where Jesus was going to be born–Bethlehem. The Scripture does not say how many magi there were, but it says that they brought Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and they paid homage to him as the King.The post Birth of Christ 3: The Messiah is Born first appeared on Living Hope.

The whole Bible is written that you might be awakened to the wonder that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came into the world.

David Mathis | Real peace during the holidays may seem like a far-off dream, but remember, the one who came will come again, and establish himself as King of Peace.

Evangelist Terry Ellis- A sermon preached Sunday Evening, on December 22, 2024.

Sunday Morning Message

Jesus's birth was not a coming into being of a new person, but a coming into the world of an infinitely old person.

If you want to give a gift to God this Christmas, walk off the assembly line of sin and don't go back. Take up your place, instead, in the picket line of love.

A harmony of the scriptures in the foretelling and telling of the birth of Christ. The Ride Home is a Fellowship Bible Church of NWA podcast.

Forgiven, we are indestructible. Satan's plan was to condemn God's followers in God's own courtroom. But now, in Christ, there is no condemnation.

Distrust God's mercy, and all is lost. But conquer here, and nothing can harm you for a million ages.

Andy Ferrier is Representative of the Midwest Messianic Center. Andy is burdened with reaching Jewish people with the good news that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Jewish Messiah. Andy served on the staff of a small Christian College in Israel while living and working on a kibbutz, an Israeli farm. He previously served 25 years with the Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry.As we read the narrative in Scripture regarding the events leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ, we do so through our Western eyes without considering Jewish culture. Today our guest unfolds some of these matters to help us better understand the goings on at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Jon Bloom | When the Son of God was born, the light of the world dawned on us. He broke upon a world in darkness and lit up the shadows of our hearts.

God put our sins on his Son and judged them there, so that he could put them out of his mind, and deal with us mercifully and remain just.

In this special lesson, we will look at how the ancient Church interpreted Old Testament prophecies that foretold the birth of the Savior. How could anyone know that Jesus was the Messiah? The prophecies were key: they prepared the Jews by telling them what to look for.

God delights to show his power through apparent defeat. He sometimes retreats in order to win strategic victories.

Jesus came that we might have Life, now and forever. Make your Now the richer and deeper this Christmas by drinking at the fountain of Forever. It is so near.

The meaning of Christmas is that God takes salvation, puts it in your heart, and seals you as his child.

Our High Priest is seated at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. No Old Testament priest could ever say that.

Jesus came to orient all our attention on himself, ministering for us first on Calvary as our final Sacrifice and then in heaven as our final Priest.

In dying, Christ de-fanged the devil. How? By covering all our sin. This means that Satan has no legitimate grounds to accuse us before God.

Giving gifts to Christ is like fasting — going without something to show that Christ is more valuable than what you are going without.

Let this Christmas be the time when you ponder what it means — what it costs — to worship and follow Jesus, the Messiah.

God influenced the stars in the sky to get a little handful of foreign magi to Bethlehem so that they would worship his Son.

Christmas proves how Jesus is Messiah — a King, and Promise-Fulfiller — for all the nations, not just Israel.

The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God's peace is faith in the promises of God.

God could have seen to it that Jesus have a room at his birth. But that would have been a detour off the Calvary road.

Do not think, because you experience adversity, that the hand of the Lord is shortened.

For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.

The only people whose soul can truly magnify the Lord are people like Elizabeth and Mary. So, this Advent, imitate their lowliness and cheerful humility.
