(John 1:6-9, NLT 2 nd Ed.)

“Your son] will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.
[Your son] will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God. He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.”
(Luke 1:15-17, NLT2)

‘I am not the Messiah. I am only here to prepare the way for him.’ It is the [groom] who marries the bride, and the best man is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
(John 3:27-30, NLT2)
(John 3:27-30, NLT2)
Christmas is not about me.
Christmas is all about reflecting Jesus.
