HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON (JESUS OF NAZARETH)

WHY HE CAME. Isa 61:1-3, Luke 4:18-19, Matt 9:13, Matt 18:11

As you celebrate this Yuletide, remember that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. He came for the following reasons:

To save that which was lost from eternal damnation;

To preach the gospel to the poor;

To preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty them that are bruised;

That we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly;

To call sinners to repentance;

To open the eyes of the blind;

To preach good tidings unto the meek;

To bind up the broken-hearted;

To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God;

To comfort all that mourn;

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion;

To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

WARNING

If you fail to hear and obey Him, to recognize and to acknowledge why he came, you will not escape the wrath of God which is coming on all the disobedient. Acts 3:23.

Have a wonderful Yuletide.

You are blessed.

Chris
