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.

So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life."

The law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted.

The Lord replied, "Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it.

1 I will stand my watch
And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will say to me,
And what I will answer when I am corrected.
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
"Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
4 "Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith.

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
