Word of God: The wise men and the star of Bethlehem

 

Long-awaited messiah has finally come as prophets prophesied. The joy must have been huge among all people in faith. Jesus has completed the salvation for us as prophets foretold it.

Now, we, the church are waiting for Jesus to rapture His bride, the church, and come again for his Kingdom!!!

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!! Maranatha!!

Merry Christmas!!

Matthew 2:9-10

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.

Word of God: Immanuel

Isaiah's prophecy, Immanuel, which means “God is with us” in Hebrew. The Messiah was born from a virgin as prophesied.

In OT, there are many prophesies of the messiah. He has to be a descendant of David. He has to be born in Bethlehem, and he has to rise from the dead etc....
Only Jesus fulfils all the conditions. Jesus is indeed the God with us. Merry Christmas!!

Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Word of God: God's works are wonderful

How possibly can a human be created without an intelligent designer ?

It's simply so obvious there is a great creator of the creation of all human and everything.

And as we see in babies, this creator is full of love!!

Word of God: God's works are wonderful

Psalm 139:13-14

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

Word of God: All have sinned against God

Bible clearly says, we all sinned against God.

We don't deserve to be with God. We are all sinners and destined to be condemned.

We are so hopeless without Christ. Christ is the only hope, and the only way to be saved from God's wrath.

Word of God: All have sinned against God

Romans 3:23, Psalm 14:1-3, Psalm 53:1-3,

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Psalm 14:1-3, Psalm 53:1-3,

The fool says in his heart,

“There is no God.”

They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;

there is no one who does good.

God looks down from heaven

on all mankind

to see if there are any who understand,

any who seek God.

Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;

there is no one who does good,

not even one.

Word of God: The Potter and the Clay

Isaiah 29:16, (Romans 9:21)

You turn things upside down,

as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!

Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,

“You did not make me”?

Can the pot say to the potter,

“You know nothing”?

Word of God: The Ten Commandments

Exodus 20:2-17

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

“You shall have no other gods before me.

“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

“You shall not murder.

“You shall not commit adultery.

“You shall not steal.

“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

Word of God: No other name is given

Many of Hebrew names in the Bible have their meanings, like Moses (משה) means 'draw out' because Pharaoh's daughter drew him out of the water.

Jesus (ישוע) means 'Salvation'. I thought that the name Jesus doesn't appear in OT, but in Hebrew, I can find his name in many places even in OT, like Exodus 15:2. Though it doesn't mean Jesus himself there, I think it is kind of fascinating just finding his name in OT.

Word of God: No other name is given

Acts 4:12

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

Word of God: Simeon praises the Lord

People in Old testament were longing to see the Messiah for thousands of years.
Simeon was also waiting for the Messiah and this is the VERY moment they all have been waiting for.
 Jesus is the messiah to save us all!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Word of God: Simeon praises the Lord

Luke 2:28-32

Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Word of God: Immeasurably more than we can imagine

In many occasions, I have been astonished by the grand scale of plans God has for us. These are certainly beyond our imagination and perfectly calculated and executed. We know what is going to happen in the future through the Scripture, and again that will also be beyond what we can think of. I am so thrilled.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Word of God: Carry everything to God

As in the HYMN song “What a friend we have in Jesus”, I believe this is the ultimate key for gaining peace in our heart. This peace is truly transcending all understanding indeed, it's unexplainable.

O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer!

Carry everything to God

Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The second Bible picture e-book 'Jonah and the big fish' is now up for everyone to enjoy! Especially for children ministry leaders and kids!!
This e-book is about the book of Jonah 1-3, Jonah disobey the Lord and did not go to

Nineveh. See what happened to him!!

Hope you enjoy the e-book :)

New feature! Bible picture e-book series!!

Please check out our new collaboration project! Bible picture ebook series.

This project is our new trial approach for the Gospel. By distributing this on Youtube as a series, we believe that would be a useful tool for children ministry leaders and Sunday school teachers all over the world.

This is also the first collaboration project at Christiancliparts.net. With the blessing of the Lord, very gifted talents are participating. The script is written by Becky Spence of This Reading Mama and narrated by Tom Whiteman of Gospel Music Roundup.

The first episode is about one of Jesus' parable, 'The good Samaritan'.
It's a concise short movie (2min 13sec) with HD resolution. I hope you would enjoy with HD and full screen mode for its best performance.

There are so much to improve, like localization to other languages. More variations in illustration styles and so on. But at least we have one big step forward today.
Hallelujah!!
Hoping this would praise and glorify my Lord, Jesus Christ!

The project need to find its sponsorship. Please spread this, and if any of the viewer know  possibilities, please let me know, that would be very appreciated.

Christmas booklet for kids!

Wonderful booklets arrived all the way to Canada from St. Luis last week!
These booklets are distributed for kids at surprising 6000 of Lutheran churches!!
Lutheran hour ministries supports the cliparts in the book and still all of them are free cliparts for everyone. The cover drawing of the Nativity scene is one of my favorite.
I am imagining that the great number of kids are having fun Christmas with this booklet. This is something I have dreamed of.
Thanks to Suzie who gave me this opportunity to serve my Lord!
