MATTHEW 1:18-19 NKJV
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:
After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
God proved His love by sending His Son, to be sacrificial offering for you and me.
Sin means miss the mark.
Christ means the anointed one
MATTHEW 1:20-21 NKJV
But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
And she will bring forth a SON, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will SAVE His people FROM THEIR SINS.”
JESUS = "JEHOVAH IS SALVATION"
JESUS, the SON of GOD,
the SAVIOUR of MANKIND,
GOD INCARNATE
MATTHEW 1:22-23 NKJV
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
“Behold, the VIRGIN shall be with child, and bear a SON, and they shall call His name IMMANUEL,” which is translated, “GOD WITH US.”
MATTHEW 1:24-25 NKJV
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.
And he called His name JESUS.
God knew the situation of man.
We were weak and powerless to save ourselves. He came and save us.
1 JOHN 4:9 NKJV
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might LIVE through Him.
1 JOHN 4:10 TPT
THIS IS LOVE :
He loved us long before we loved him.
It was HIS LOVE, not ours.
He PROVED it by SENDING HIS SON to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to TAKE AWAY OUR SINS.
ROMANS 5:6 TPT
For when the TIME was right, the Anointed One CAME and DIED to DEMONSTRATE HIS LOVE for SINNERS who were ENTIRELY HELPLESS, WEAK, and POWERLESS to SAVE THEMSELVES.
ROMANS 5:7-8 TPT
Now, who of us would dare to die for the sake of a wicked person?
We can all understand if someone was willing to die for a truly noble person.
But CHRIST PROVED God’s passionate love FOR US by DYING IN OUR PLACE while we were STILL LOST and UNGODLY!
It was not deserving for Jesus to die on the cross. It was my sin and your sin. But this is His love. He took our place.
He took our place when we deserve to die.
To die for a sinner. A criminal like us. Only God will do it.
On the cross He said Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.
Jesus took the cancer. He took the pain and the sin upon Himself.
ROMANS 5:9 TPT
And there is still much more to say of his unfailing love for us!
For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are NOW RIGHTEOUS in my sight.”
And BECAUSE of the SACRIFICE of JESUS,
you will NEVER experience the wrath of God.
He was despised by the one He came to die for.
He gave us in exchange. He was cursed so that we can be blessed.
Today we can be blessed.
We too can share the presence of God. Mankind can live. The life that Jesus gave up on the cross so that we can be in right standing with God.
God gave His gift not by courier but by angels.
He gave the love that no human being can give.
God is holy. He had to punish sin. He punished on Jesus Christ and we don’t need to fear punishment again.
JOHN 3:16 NLT
“For THIS IS HOW GOD LOVED the WORLD:
He GAVE his one and ONLY SON,
so that EVERYONE who BELIEVES in HIM
will not perish
but have ETERNAL LIFE.
He gave His one and only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
His One and Only Son. God said to Jesus, Son, will you go? And die for that stubborn man, die for that selfish woman. Die for the one who never knew me. Die for the one who is asking who is that God.
Jesus went to die for us that we may live.
Share eternal life.
God sent His Son to the world and not to judge the world.
All who has sin will have to go to hell because this is righteous God.
Even though Adam sin, Jesus came to save the world through Jesus Christ.
A sinner cannot save another sinner.
One who is drowning cannot save another person who is drowning.
JOHN 3:17 NLT
GOD SENT HIS SON into the world not to judge the world,
but TO SAVE the WORLD THROUGH HIM.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:2 NLT
For GOD says,
“At just the RIGHT TIME, I HEARD YOU.
On the DAY of SALVATION, I HELPED YOU.”
Indeed, the “RIGHT TIME” is NOW.

He came and we can have salvation.
Salvation to everyone is now possible.
I receive you. The gift that no one can give.
12 months in a year. Every month there will be fruits and joy. Every month will not be the same as before. Everyday is accounted for.
No man can take away the blessings from you.
The place of rest. Jesus in our heart. We need a Saviour. His name is Jesus. Today is the day of salvation for everyone who believes. Everyone needs a Saviour.
We did not care but Father You cared. You cared for every single souls in this earth. You came to die for us so that we can have eternal life.
Today we are grateful to you. We give you thanks Lord. We are saved.
