Merry Christmas to all who believe that Jesus Christ is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob— the same Lord revealed in both the Old and the New Testaments:
Christmas proclaims the mystery that the eternal Word of God entered history, not as a created being, but as God Himself made flesh.
The Word in the Old Testament: The Word of the LORD is presented in Scripture as living, personal, and divine—not merely spoken sound, but God acting in revelation and power.
Psalm 33:6 “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.” Creation is accomplished by the Word and animated by the Breath (Spirit) of God.
Genesis 15:1 “After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision…” The Word comes, speaks, promises, and identifies Himself as Abram’s shield and reward.
Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born… and his name shall be called… The mighty God…” The coming Messiah is openly declared to be God Himself.
The Word Revealed in the New Testament: What was revealed in promise is now revealed in person:
John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”
Colossians 1:16–17 “For by him were all things created… and by him all things consist.”
Revelation 19:13 “And his name is called The Word of God.” The Word who created all things and spoke to the patriarchs is identified by name: Jesus Christ.
One God — Triune in Nature The Bible reveals one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4 “The LORD our God is one LORD.”
Matthew 28:19 “…in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ… and the communion of the Holy Ghost…”
Christmas declares the incarnation of God the Son, sent by the Father, revealed by the Holy Spirit. Glory to the One True God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Merry Christmas.
