Dear friends and partners:

Greetings to all our friends and partners of One Hope Outreach Ministry. As we celebrate what God has done throughout the past year and as we enter into this Christmas season, we are very thankful for your continued prayers and support as we share the love of Jesus around the world.

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, may we remember the true reason why we celebrate. The birth of Jesus, His life on earth, His atoning work on the cross, resurrection from the dead and ascension into heaven are all supernatural acts of God. The advent of a virgin giving birth to the Messiah and His atoning work on the cross was all foretold by the prophets of the Old Testament. And never, throughout history of mankind has a more beautiful story been told.

The four gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John present Jesus Christ as God become flesh; Deity and humanity united in one flesh. And to those who know Jesus as redeemer from all sins have no question about His Divinity. But there are multitudes who disallow the virgin birth and claim that He was only human. However, one needs only to look at the aforementioned miraculous birth, scan through the recorded pages of His sinless life, look at His sacrificial death on the cross and ascension to the Father to realize He was more than just a man, indeed He was God made flesh as He dwelt among men.

Without the babe in a manger in Bethlehem of Judea, the miracle worker of Galilee and the crucified, resurrected Christ of Calvary the Christian claims of a new life in Him would not be possible, rather it would just be a religious experiment. But to those who do believe the gospels it is more than a religious experiment. It is an experience of His life changing power. And because of His life changing power, we find ourselves bowing before the Christ that was born in a manger so many years ago and adoring Him as our God and Saviour.

What about you, what is your interpretation of the Christ child born in a manger? Do you believe the gospels?
