Expectation ─ Miracles Eternal Gifts …… O glorious and Miraculous season! What a miracle, the Virgin Birth of Jesus, the Son of God, Emmanuel! The Account of Jesus Birth has been told in this Church for 32 years and it has never changed!  We are talking about “Eternal Gifts” that God has given to the Church, His people! Joseph is mystified when he discovers his bride to be is with Child and it is not his.  The Miracle of Eternal Life begins: Matt 1:20-23 “…while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.─ Miraculous!  “She shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His Name JESUS: for He shall Save His people from their sins!” The Next Gift of Eternal Value – fulfillment of Isaiah’s Prophecy, “All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us!  I’m talking about Miracles, Eternal Gifts given to the Body of Christ and it all began in this Holy Season of Jesus’ Birth. In Luke 1:30-32 the Bride, Mary gets a Miraculous visit. An Angel comes to her and says: “Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His Name JESUS.  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:” I know the saints know this, but consider the Miracle, the Eternal Gift that was birthed in the place where animals are feed! ─ “no room in the Inn.” How could this happen? Miraculously!! That’s how! Luke 1:34-35 The angel said to Mary, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God!” Preparation for our Salvation was born! To comprehend this Great Gift, we must take time to think about it, meditate upon this High Holy Event that we Celebrate every Year. It is an Eternal Gift, a Forever Gift, God’s Love & Jesus Sacrifice: Let’s explode with Thanksgiving and say to all, Christmas is the Birth of our King!  Loving you and Anticipating a Glorious and Miraculous Christmas Season, Pastor
