Description

Joy to the World- the LORD has come. GOD sent HIS SON JESUS to LOVE and LIGHT the way for us. GOD gave HIS HOLY SPIRIT to guide us on our path back home to HIM. We reflect the LOVE of JESUS CHRIST. I have always celebrated CHRISTmas on December 25 every year. Later I realized that Armenian CHRISTmas was on January 6 and Orthodox CHRISTmas was celebrated on January 7. A day when we rejoice for CHRIST coming to save humanity- to spread HIS LIGHT and LOVE to all people on earth- and for everything we are thankful for. I now realize that every day is CHRISTmas no matter what calendar we use. The wise men gave the Baby Jesus 3 Gifts- gold, frankincense and myrrh. Why did the wise men give the BABY JESUS myrrh and frankincense?

They tried to give HIM wine mixed with myrrh; but HE did not take it. And they crucified HIM, and divided up HIS garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take. Mark 15:23-24NASB

they gave HIM wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, HE was unwilling to drink. Matthew 27:34NASB

Myrrh was used by the ancient Egyptians, along with natron, for the embalming of mummies. Wikipedia.org

Myrrh is mixed with frankincense and sometimes more scents and is used in almost every service of the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, traditional Roman Catholic and Anglican/Episcopol Churches. Wikipedia.org

The Book of Psalms is named from the Greek "psalmoi" meaning songs. Another English title is the Psalter, from the Greek word for a stringed instrument. In other words, the Psalms were written to be sung. Dick Harfield www.answers.com/Q/When_was_psalm_69_written

Psalm 69 was written by King David approximately 1,015 Years Before the baby JESUS CHRIST was born on earth.

They also gave me gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Psalm 69:21NASB

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore. Psalm 69:4NASB

I have become estranged from my brothers And an alien to my mother's sons. Psalm 69:8NASB

The following is from "Isaiah written approximately "700 years" before CHRIST".

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:5-12NIV

"This amazing passage from the Hebrew Prophets was written over 700 years before the birth of Jesus. It is found in Jewish Bibles today, though it is left out of the weekly synagogue readings, as are many other texts of the Bible. When people read Isaiah 53 without knowing which part of the Bible it comes from, they often wrongly assume is from the New Testament. Did Isaiah foresee the sufferings of Jesus to pay for our sins? Though many modern rabbis --and some ancient rabbis-- say the sufferings described are those of the nation of Israel, most ancient rabbis said it refers to Messiah's sufferings. We have provided a link to some of the great rabbinic sources which interpreted the passage as referring to the Messiah, even though they did not believe in Jesus. We have also provided a link demonstrating why Isaiah 53 cannot refer to Israel and who it must necessarily refer to. You will also find some other interesting links below. The passage actually begins with the end of Isaiah chapter 52. Read it for yourself." www.chaim.org/isaiah53.htm


"If you LOVE those who LOVE you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners LOVE those who LOVE them. "If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. Luke 6:32-33NASB
