THE BIRTH OF CHRIST- WHO IS JESUS?

John 10:10b, 11
I AM come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I AM the Good Shepherd, the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

JESUS, IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD

The birth is JESUS was the earthly manifestation of the I AM. JESUS IS GOD INCARNATE, MAN DIVINE. This plan of GOD was in His mind before the heavens and the earth were made. Now, in the fullness of time, JESUS is born.

JESUS laid down His life when He entered into the womb of Mary. He left His home in glory to become a child, born of a woman; 33 years later, He would lay down His life on a cruel cross. There were many other times that JESUS "laid down" His life for His sheep. He was humble and meek, not proud and showy; He loved deeply those who were sin-sick and healed them, He didn't pass them by; He showed abundant mercy and compassion, not judgment and condemnation; He forgave His enemies; He withheld His power to dominate and destroy. All this and much more were signs of JESUS, "giving His life for the sheep".

JESUS is calling us to walk as He walked, giving our life for the salvation of souls, though acts of mercy and compassion, forgiveness, humility and meekness.

WHO IS JESUS? THE GOOD SHEPHERD WHO LOVES YOU.
