Luke 2: 10-14 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all
people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto
you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a
manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Christmas! A Wonderful time of the year. Not only for little girls and boys, but also people of all ages, and all nationalities. An account that has been recorded in the Holy Scriptures down through the years. This Word was spoken by the Prophets, revealed by the angel Gabriel, Born of a virgin, guided by a Star, and herald in by a multitude of the heavenly host worshipping and praising God. When the time was right God sent His only conceived Son, made of a woman to redeem mankind. Sin had separated us from God's love, but Jesus came to us as Heavens Gift to reconcile us back into the family of God. 1John 3:1 says, Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. Jesus is Gods manifested love to the world, who hath abolished death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel! In the book of Leviticus the 17th chapter and the 11th verse, it states, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Where sin abounded Gods Grace did much more abound. And it was JESUS, who became the sacrifice for our sins, and for the sins of the whole world. At this season the world pauses to remember and to celebrate the birthday of our Saviour, Emmanuel!. We join in harmony with the redeemed of the earth as we lift our voices and sing in chorus Salvations sweetest songs. We light candles and lights to shine through the darkness and to tell the world that our Light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon us! Down through the ages many have tried to extinguish what the real meaning of Christmas is. But for those of us whose lives have been transformed by the power of the Highest, our lights will shine, and our voices will join together in unison all around the world, as we celebrate the Birthday of our King! St Matthew 2:10-11 It has been our
joy once again to minister Word of Life Ministries on the
This months Hand In Hand Publication is written by our dear friend and contributing member, Dr. Trudy Veerman from Canada. Sister Trudy is a Licensed Clinical Christian Therapist, a Certified Christian Counselor, an ordained Minister and a published Author. She is serving the Lord with dedication and determination, for the past 42 years. Her life and her ministry is a sure proof of God's unfailing power. I would like to invite you to read Sister Trudy's inspiring message this month entitled, "There is a Redeemer". Her message hits home with the truth and realization of how sin had separated us from God's love, care, and protection. And yet He was so willing to pay the price to redeem us back into fellowship with Him. Sister Trudy writes, "A ransom was paid to release us from bondage to sin and from the curse of the Law. God prepared a Redemption Plan to free us from slavery, captivity and eternal death. Hallelujah! God, the Creator is also the Recreator".

When
they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come
into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell
down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they
presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
