Christ Was Born For Us
Christ was born as Hope for all; when born a tiny baby in a stall,
He was born as the Savior of men, in the tiny town of Bethlehem.
He was born in a quiet place, as The King of God’s chosen race.
He was God’s Gift to all men, for it was by God that He was sent.
As a young boy not much is said, about Christ’s life in Nazareth.
One event that we are told, He was at the Temple at 12 years old.
One thing that Christ told us, He was about His Father’s business.
The Word is silent until we see, The Lord Jesus begin His Ministry.
Jesus lived His life for all to see, what God expects of you and me.
He had but one job to fulfill, and that was to do His Father’s will.
Peter stated, He was The Christ, but He came to offer men His life.
Christ lived for us a sinless life, in a dark world of sinful strife.
The end of His life is why he came, to die for us a death of shame.
On the cross, a sinless Lamb died a wicked death, for sinful man.
But unlike a lamb or common man, our Lord and Savior rose again.
Over sin and death He had victory, so that man could live Eternally.
The Son of God came to earth, to offer fallen man a second birth,
The Immortal God came to give, all mortal men a new life to live.
Believe the reason why He came, and you will never be the same.
So Friend, become Born Again, so when you die you will live again.

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged
to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with
child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and
did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But
after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is
conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give
him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place
to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will
give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."
(Matthew 1:18-23)
God’s Christmas Gift
Christmas is a time to give, and that is what The Lord God did.
God sent His Son as a gift for all, to save man from Adam’s fall.
Christ came just like you and me, as a little baby for all to see.
For God prepared a body for Him, to redeem all man from his sin.
He gave His Only Son Jesus Christ, to all the world as a sacrifice.
Christmas Gifts by many are bought without giving Christ a thought.
Would we have Christmas friend, if Christ, by God was never sent?
It is indeed a festive season, but, many forget its primary reason.
It is to celebrate and worship Him, who was born to die for our sin.
The greatest gift to all the earth is through Him we have new birth.
God’s gift was sent to Bethlehem, to become the Savior of all men.
From that small baby in the hay, He grew up to show men The Way,
That way is for all the nations, to come to God through His salvation.
He grew up in Nazareth, no place to be, for The King of all Eternity.
But that was just a temporal home, now He’s in Glory on a Throne.
Christ is not just a baby in a stall; He is God and The Lord of all.
A stable was the place of birth, for The Lord and King of the earth.
Once again to earth He’ll come, to reign as King from Jerusalem.
God’s gift was given to all men, but you have to accept Him friend.
So accept, as Lord, Jesus Christ, and His gift to you is Eternal Life.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the
government will be on his shoulders. And he will be
called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his
government and peace there will be no end. He will
reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it with justice and
righteousness from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this."
(Isaiah 9:6-7)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared
To all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and
Worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and
Godly lives in this present age, while we wait for The
Blessed Hope--the glorious appearing of our great God
And Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to
Redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself
A people that are his very own, eager to do what is good."
(Titus 2:11-14 )
Have a Wonderful Christmas
In Christ's Love, Bob Gotti
