Christmas Message 2013
I congratulate you my dear beloved children on this blessed Christmas,
wishing you the blessings of joy, richness and peace in your life, work, and
families from the Holy Born Baby in the manger - blessings. May all
Christmas celebrations find you filled with peace in spirit and good health.
The Precious Event
The incarnation and birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the most precious
events in the history of mankind. In this event we meet various aspects of
God’s creation. For example:
� Individuals: Joseph, Herod, Mary, Elizabeth and Simeon.
� Groups: Jewish shepherds, foreign Magi and children.
� Animals: in the manger and also in the temple offerings.
� Heavenly hosts: angels, and the Archangel’s annunciation of the Birth of
Christ
� Towns: small towns such as Bethlehem, large cities such Jerusalem, and
countries such as Egypt
� Different titles: the carpenter, the king, the Virgin, the prophetess, the
elder, and Emmanuel
It is indeed a very precious event, but we will choose three elements only:
First: The New Name, Emmanuel
Second: The New Reality, the Incarnation
Third: The New Depth, Love
1. The new name, Emmanuel
� Emmanuel is translated “God with us,” which is going to happen. In the
book of Isaiah, It was prophesied seven centuries before happening. The
prophecy states: “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name
Emmanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). It is repeated again in Isaiah 8:8 and Isaiah
8:10, and it has been fulfilled with the birth of our Holy Messiah
(Matthew 1:23).
