20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
AFTER the Shepherds returned from proclaiming the Birth of the Messiah to all who would listen, they returned to JESUS to be WITH HIM! THEY were worshiping the SAVIOR, the Messiah, praising GOD for all HE HAD DONE and for HIS faithfulness to perform the doing of the prophetic promises HE MADE to redeem us unto HIMSELF.....
The Shepherds WORSHIPED the LORD.
I pray that their is room in your hearts to Worship The LORD this day and this Christmas Season and on the day we set aside to celebrate HIS BIRTH. It is not likely that December 25 is the actual day HE WAS BORN, but the only thing important is that one day we will all bow before HIM and confess that HE IS LORD and GOD the FATHER will be Glorified because of The Son!
Take time to actually THANK HIM for ALL HE has done for US. Eternity in Heaven is an awesome, unfathomable beyond comprehension GIFT from that BABY in a manger. It is a gift for ALL who would by simple faith come to HIM believing that HE is the LORD and who claim HIM and HIM ALONE as the savior of their souls.
He said that "I AM THE WAY, the TRUTH, and The LIFE. NO ONE comes to God the FATHER BUT BY ME".
In Acts chapter 4, verse 12 we read
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
In John chapter 3: 16 - 17
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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3: 36 Jesus said this also:
[ He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
According to JESUS, the same BABY that was in the manger, you either HAVE HIM as SAVIOR and have eternal life with HIM, OR you don't and if you don't accept HIM, then you will reside eternally somewhere other than heaven and the wrath and punishment of GOD will be upon you for all eternity because YOU REJECTED the SAVIOR who came down from Heaven and gave HIMSELF for you....
THIS is really THIS SIMPLE. The GOSPEL is not hard or difficult to understand. Simply read what GOD SAID and ACCEPT IT. Stop trying to use human reasoning.
GOD SAID that HIS THOUGHTS and WAYS are FAR HIGHER than our thoughts and reasoning. BY FAITH we are to accept HIS WORD even as we are to accept HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, the BABY in the manger, the Savior of the World by simple faith......
There is NO CHARGE for entrance to Heaven and to be with Christ. The only requirement is that YOU turn your heart over to GOD and believe HIM.
Give yourself the BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT you could ever receive. ETERNAL LIFE with Christ and it cost you only your faith... Eternity is forever folks. DO you want to be in eternal torment and pain? That is where Satan and the followers of his are going to be and everyone who rejects Jesus Christ as their Savior.. If you don;t want to live with Jesus then you will be where Satan is. In Hell, which was prepared for the devil and his angelic followers. God cannot allow UNBELIEVERS whose sins have not been cleansed by the BLOOD OF CHRIST to enter into HIS Dwelling place. So each person can make their decision. You can CHOOSE to go to a place called HELL and be burned forever, or you can choose Jesus and worship HIM and trust HIM alone for your redemption...
He is waiting for you..
Ask HIM today to be your lord and savior.. He will welcome you with no judgments and clean you up and write your name down in HIS BOOK of LIFE. You will see HIM face to face and experience peace and joy and love beyond human comprehension...
Call on HIM today and have the best Christmas ever! For eternity...
