Christmas - Christian e-cards

He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.

His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.

And this will be the sign to you:
You will find a Babe
wrapped in swaddling cloths,
lying in a manger.”

But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;

I have come
that they may have life,
and that they may have
it more abundantly.

By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess []that Jesus []Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

And did not know her till she had brought
forth her firstborn Son.
And he called His name Jesus.

The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.

Therefore let it be known to you, brethren,
that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;

And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary,
of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.

Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,From everlasting.

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.

For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

For I did not come to judge the world
but to save the world.

I have not come to call the righteous,
but sinners, to repentance.

Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!

Now may the Lord of peace Himself
give you peace always in every way.
The Lord be with you all.

Looking for the blessed hope
and glorious appearing of our great God
and Savior Jesus Christ,

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
And He who formed you from the womb:
I am the Lord, who makes all things,
Who stretches out the heavens all alone,
Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;

Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;

I, even I, am the Lord,
And besides Me there is no savior.

Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!
