Have you told your children?

Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. (Joel 1:3 KJV)

This Thursday morning, as paper scatters across your floors, tell your children about Jesus.

This celebration isn’t about their gifts under the tree. It isn’t about who did (or didn’t) show up. It isn’t about whether or not retail sales were good.

This is about prophecy and its fulfillment:

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. (Micah 5:2 KJV)

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 KJV)

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14 KJV)

Read the rest of the story to your children – Luke 1 and 2. Matthew 2.

Tell your children of it: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11 KJV)

Thank you for taking time to read and comment on the blog. Comments should take into consideration this verse: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8 KJV)
