Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah of Israel, a LIGHT to the gentiles, Mighty God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Lion of the tribe of Juday, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, our Savior, Redeemer, Gracious Friend, the Good Shepherd who leaves the flock of 99 to seek and to save that one lost “sheep”.
Praise God that Jesus Christ came into the world specifically to seek and to save that which was lost!
The Lord Jesus Christ has been actively seeking the “Lost.” May many who feel LOST turn around and embrace HIM, their Savior, their Redeemer, their Mighty God, their gracious but magnificent King....this Christmas!
