Christmas - Christian e-cards

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

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!

And she brought forth her firstborn Son,
and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger,
because there was no room for them in the inn.

For the Son of Man has come to seek
and to save that which was lost.

And He shall stand and feed His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
And they shall abide,For now He shall be great
To the ends of the earth;
And this One shall be peace.
