The Son of the Highest

Luke 1:26-35

In due time God sent His son into the world to save the world from sin. The mission of Christ was to take on the flesh of Man and show His love by giving His life for all humanity. His name speaks of His mission. Jehovah salvation, Emmanuel, God is with us. Jesus, The reason we share and show love and good cheer to all mankind. May the birth of Christ be the focus of our celebration during every Christmas holiday.
