“You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich–yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich!” 2 Corinthians 8:9
Go to Bethlehem and see yon infant! It is the Word made flesh–it is the eternal God Himself!
Come, see the place where the young child lay! Look at the manger: there is the Lamb for the burnt offering–there is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
See yon infant! The infinite God becomes a helpless babe.
The Creator of the universe sleeps in a woman’s arms!
- Those feet that have not yet trod this rough earth shall be nailed to the accursed tree.
- Those little tender hands shall yet be torn.
- That side shall yet be pierced by a Roman spear.
- That back shall yet be scourged.
- That rosy cheek shall yet be buffeted and spit upon.
- That brow shall yet be crowned with thorns.
And all for you!
Is not this wondrous love? Yes, it is the unfathomable love of our Savior-God!
Included in this sin-atoning love of the Lord Jesus, there is also salvation, and a kingdom, and infinite bliss for every one of His redeemed people!

Do You Know Jesus?
The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). It also emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, God offers us the incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).
If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know that today is the day of salvation (Acts 28). Turn away from your sinful past and turn to Jesus. Remember, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Don’t wait—find hope and redemption!
