JESUS IS:
THE GREATEST CHILD EVER BORN.
THE GREATEST PROPHECY EVER FULFILLED.
THE GREATEST EVENT TO COME TO PASS.
THE GREATEST SACRIFICE EVER OFFERED.
THE GREATEST GIFT EVER GIVEN.
THE GREATEST GIFT (JESUS) HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF RECEIVING HIM.
When Christ was born in Bethlehem, God was with us. When Jesus is reborn in our hearts, God is with us. Romans 10:9-10,13
Salvation is not a goal to achieve, but a gift to receive!
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
Salvation not a performance but a person- Jesus Christ!
No gift is more needed by a dying world than a living Saviour Jesus Christ the Lord.
