C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S from C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N.S

“He is the Creator who made everything in heaven and earth, the things we can see and the things we can’t; the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, it rulers and authorities; all were made by Christ for His own use and glory. He was before all else began, and it is His power that holds all things together.” Col 1:13-17

He chose to become “one of us” and delivered His birth announcement through an angel to a teenage virgin. “Mary asked the angel, ‘But, how can I have a baby? I am a virgin. The angel replied, ‘The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of God shall overshadow you; so the baby born to you will be utterly holy—the Son of God’.”  Luke 1:34-35

He offered Hope to a woman who had been married five times and living with a man that was not her husband.

He became Redeemer to a group of twelve worthless men and decided to turn His Kingdom over to them!

He stepped in as Intercessor for a woman facing a gang of religious men with rocks in their hands-anxious to stone her.

He lived a Sinless life.

He is Time, and we measure our years with B.C. and A.D. He said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Rev 22:13

He was Man as much as He is God and “had the same temptations we do, though He never once gave way to them and sinned.” Heb 4:15

He claimed to be the Absolute way to God. He said, “I am the Way—yes the Truth and the Life. No one can get to the Father except by means of me.” John 14:6

He is Sovereign and will return to earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords! “Then I saw heaven opened and a white horse standing there; and the one sitting on the horse was named, “Faithful and True”—the one who justly punishes and makes war. His eyes were like flames, and on His head were many crowns. A name was written on his forehead, and only He knew its meaning. He was clothed with garments dipped in blood, and His title was, The Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.”  Rev 19:11-14

Corporations can change their season greeting to “Happy Holidays”. Merchants can replace His name with “X”. Cynics can doubt. Nothing can change the fact— Jesus Christ IS C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S.!
