“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ”
Isaiah 9:6

Christmas is the day Christians celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Messiah (The Promised Deliverer) has come and most of all will come again! Take a moment and reflect on the value of the gift of Jesus' birth.

What if Jesus was never born?

For one thing we would not have the privilege of knowing God as Father nor have access to Him. For if you are not a Jew, without Jesus we could not be part of God's family. Ephesians 2:11-12. We would be like orphans, no one to take care of us, held to the mercy of men led by the ruler of this world, Satan. Ephesians 2:2

Our father would be Satan, the deceiver, the father of lies. John 8:44 Life would be haywired (erratic, out of control) darkness would reign. Satan would play many games with us and use us as sport at his will. 2 Timothy 2:26 As the Prophet Isaiah prophesied to the people who were forsaking God, we would seek counsel from witches and those with familiar spirits hoping someone could give us answers Isaiah 8:19-20 to the many questions and doubts Satan would constantly rage in our minds, similar to what he did Eve in the Garden of Eden Genesis 3:1-5.

He would trick us into killing one another, envying one another, hating one another Galatians 5:19-20, biting and devouring one another Galatians 5:15 We would be lied to and deceived, not knowing the truth in anything since it's only the Holy Spirit given to us by God through Jesus John 15:26 that leads us into all truth John 16:13, for it is through Him that God speaks to us. 1 Corinthians 2:10. 1 Corinthians 2:11. Our carnal minds would have us looking for a Messiah that would simply rule on the land and beat up the bully, for without Jesus and the Spirit we cannot understand the things of the Spirit 1 Corinthians 2:14. We would seek to be rulers on earth and even fight for the best positions. Mark 10:35-37

Hmmm....What if Jesus was never born? The results are the same for all who have not received him as their LORD and Savior; it is as if Jesus was never born! Without Jesus Satan can use us as his instruments and at his will in his plan to steal, kill, and destroy.

Oh, BUT GOD, had a greater plan, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

The Prince of Peace was born to reconcile us back to God. Romans 5:1. For we were once His enemies. Ephesians 4:18 And because of the Peace we now have access to God Romans 5:2, the Wonderful Counsellor, who knows all, sees all. He promises to tell us things that we can't know without Him Daniel 2:22. We don't need a fortune teller or a sooth sayer Jeremiah 33:2-3. For He is the mighty God, there was none before him or will ever be after Him, He is our only Savior Isaiah 43:10-11. He is the Lord God Almighty, mighty in battle Psalm 24:8. And He is the everlasting Father Romans 8:15-16, and because He is our everlasting Father we are heirs, "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;…:" Romans8:17a.

Jesus was born and given as a gift that we might be reconciled eternally with His the everlasting Father John 17:20-21. So we no longer walk in darkness and without hope Isaiah 9:2 because of the richness of His mercy and grace. Ephesians 2:1-5

Although his death and resurrection speaks to your salvation, His birth speaks to His willingness to give up his rights in heaven to be likened unto sinful man 2 Corinthians 8:9. To humble himself to such a degree that He literally was placed in the womb then in the arms of a human being. God, Jesus himself, the King of the universe placed himself in such a vulnerable position just to save us! But not only to save us but that we might live an abundant life in Him John 10:10 until we reach that place He has prepared for us! John 14:2-3, Revelations 21:21-22, Revelations 21:4, Revelations 21:7.

Yes, What if Jesus was never born? The results are the same for those who have not received him as their Lord and Savior; it is as if Jesus was never born!

If you don't know Him, come and meet Him today [Salvation is Free] and if you do Celebrate His birth today and everyday! He's worthy and worthy to be praised!!! Apart from Jesus we can't do nothing but fail. John 15:5 And remember to be His ambassadors wherever you go. 2 Corinthians 5:20 As the star shined and guided the wise men to Jesus Matthew 2:9-10 let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and be guided to Jesus that Our Father may be glorified! Matthew 5:16

Today and everyday we celebrate the One and Only gift that keeps on giving and will give throughout eternity.
