When we look years back this month reminds us of wonderful event that took place for the final visa settlement of mankind. Jesus Christ Immanuel was born to redeem each of us giving his own life.
Dear friends, Is this Christmas a renewal in our hearts, thoughts and deeds? As we look to this wonderful God's son, let us consider the three names assigned to Him. The name Jesus means 'Saviour' and comes from the Hebrew name Joshua ('Jehovah is salvation'). The word Christ means 'Anointed'. It is the Greek equivalent of Messiah. He is "Jesus the Messiah". Jesus is His human name; Christ the official title. And the third name Immanuel describes who He is - "God with us". Jesus Christ is God! We find this name Immanuel in Isaiah 7:14
So my dear friends, I do trust that this Christmas will be Jesus Christ Immanuel.
"Let this day of Christmas
Be an Immanuel in me
To be always a Christ like
Character in the world"
