Heavenly Father, we pause to give You THANKS for all the good things that You have done for Your People!   We give You PRAISE because You ARE the ETERNAL ONE!

There is never a time when You are not, and there will never be a time when You are not. 

Your Name is   “I AM” - the ONLY Eternal One!

Our focus is on JESUS our Savior at this Christmas time of the year. He is Your only Begotten Son and He came to this earth that all of us might be given the opportunity of having a meaningful relationship with You!

Thank You that we can call You  -  OUR Heavenly Father!     Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is    Revelation 1:8

 

"I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."     Revelation 1:8

Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon!  Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My Word he shall never taste death.' Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?  And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?"

Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him.  And if I say, 'I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM!"   John 8:54-58

Ladies and Gentlemen, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; the God of Moses, Joshua, and David; the God of Solomon, Jeremiah, and Daniel; this same God became flesh and walked among us in the Person of Christ Jesus our Lord.  Jesus had a personal relationship with a dozen men for about three years. Jesus taught these men that communion with God was not only possible, but Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and earth wanted and desired fellowship with all of us – His Children.

This is why we celebrate Christmas, Emmanuel – God with us!

Jesus was born to die, that I might live forever. Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29); your sins, my sins, and everyone who will confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that Christ Jesus is the Son of the Living God.

Jesus says to you, "I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.  If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."   John 14:6-7
