Jesus did claim to be God,

He was persecuted for claiming to God and

He was executed for claiming to be God.

It is a statistical impossibility for Jesus to have fulfilled all the prophecies previously recorded in the Bible concerning his birth, life and death. Unless...He is the literal Son of God, the Messiah, the Savior of the World, as foretold in the Bible.

The people that are powerful aren't always the ones who appear the most powerful.

Sometimes when things look like they are out of control, they are going according to plan.

God is in control. God is good. God loves you. You are loved.

Whichever you are feeling, in control or out of control, give more control to the God who is good, who loves you.

All the things in your life, good and bad, have brought you to this moment, this place, and this decision.

So the Jesus that we celebrate at Christmas, claimed to be God. The most important question we will ever answer, is, who do we say Jesus is?

When we have our eyes (our focus) on ourselves and off of God, we become self focused and miserable.

No Yeshua(No Jesus), no joy, know Yeshua, know joy.

Happiness depends on what happens. Joy depends on the condition of your soul.

If you are saved, someone needs to tell your face.
