To all those who have meant so much to me in my life, all those who are desfrutando os bençãos desta tempo do Natal. unh.
Merry Christmas with all of my melting and heart.
Today I saw and talked to my family for the first time in 6 months, and it was like a huge wave of emotion and just... pure love and dear dear memories.
I cant put all of this... in words.
I didnt know I had the capacity to feel this kind of love.
What can I write on this special day? What can I possibly say?
" And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up.
That whosoever believeth in man should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved."
These few scriptures have taken root in my heart this season. They have found true meaning.
Jesus Christ, literally IS the son of God in the flesh. He lived a perfect life, and atoned for the sins of the wicked, and the sins of the righteous. He saved and saves us from all of our weaknesses, sins, problems, and mistakes he atoned for all things wrong and injust, all things horrible and soul-wrenching. It is only through him that we have hope and that we know the characteristics of our Father in heaven.
I can not imagine the pain that our Father in Heaven must have felt. Giving His only son begotton in the flesh and spirit to the hands of robbers and decievers to be killed and hurt. The thought is unimaginable and full of deep understanding...
for to do a thing such as this, to give away a son...
the love He must have for us, for every single spirit child of him. For his love and his understanding that through this sacrifice, all would have the opportunity to repent and be cleansed.
The greatest sacrifice of all.
As the prothet isaiah prophesied.
"2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; andwhen we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desirehim.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, andacquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; hewas despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yetwe did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruisedfor our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every oneto his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of usall.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not hismouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheepbefore her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shalldeclare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of theliving: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him togrief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shallsee his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the dpleasure of theLord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: byhis aknowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for heshall dbear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and heshall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured outhis soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
And thus, the truth is written in the bible, and all the holy scriptures written by prophets, inspired by God. Testify that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of the World. That in Him all man can one day return to the precense of God and can hope for a better tomorrow.
And in this I find my joy. For without Him I am nothing, but With thim I have everything. This is the season to celebrate his birth and life. May we all remember, and glorify our God.
I love you all,
FELIZ NATAL
