The Promise of Christmas

The Promise of Christmas

The promise of Christmas is not found in a box

Not wrapped in fancy paper; the promise of Christmas cannot be bought

The promise of Christmas is Jesus our Lord

Who came down from Heaven with His gift of eternal reward

P is for Peace

Peace for all

Glory to God in the highest

Was the angels' song! (Isaiah 26:3)

R is for Royalty

A King to all people

Has come

Lying in a manger bed

Ruler of everyone (1 Timothy 6:15)

O is for One Small Child

With a cry

Baby Jesus was born

Mary wrapped Him tight

Keeping Him safe and warm (Luke 2:16)

M is for Manger

Baby Jesus' first bed

The cradle for the Son of God

As He lay down His sweet head (Luke 2:12)

I is for Immanuel

God with us

For a very long time

People waited

God kept His promise (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23)

S is for Savior

Jesus was born

to save all people from our sins

If we ask for forgiveness

He gives us new life from within (John 3:16-17)

E is for Eternal

Life forever

The promise Jesus made

Heaven is our reward

For all who believe in His Name (Philippians 3:20)

Jesus is the promise of Christmas to all who believe

His love He freely gives, the choice is up to us to receive

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Love, Jim and Kari c. 2025
