The Greatest Gift!

Christmas would be just another day without Jesus.

The real story of Christmas is in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You can see that they focus on different aspects of the birth of Jesus. They all tell the wonderful story of God’s never ending love for mankind. God sent his only begotten son Jesus, who was and is and always will be. Jesus is God in the flesh, born into a sinful world. Jesus lived a sinless life. Jesus died a despicable death on the cross for our sins.

Jesus’ purpose on earth was not to condemn but to provide a ransom for the sins of all mankind.

Look at where Jesus was born a manger, in Bethlehem, at a time foretold in the book of Isaiah chapter 9, yet no one expected or would take notice, lowly shepherds came to see him and then three kings from afar came bringing precious gifts and bowed down recognizing his majesty. Think of that, kings bowed down to him, while one king sought to kill him out of pure jealousy?

Jesus would go on to live a life without sin, showing by example that it was possible, only by being totally committed and submitted to the will of God the Father. Jesus constantly told his disciples that he did only what he saw his Father in Heaven do.

Jesus would be falsely accused, even unto death on the cross, without defending himself. And why would the creator God need to justify himself to his creation. Jesus endured unspeakable humiliation, pain and scorn so that you and I could be made clean from our sin and able to stand before a Holy God.

Jesus didn’t have to, but he did and willingly.

The bible tells us that if we believe Jesus is the Son of God, who lived and died for our sins; and if we ask for God to forgive us in the name of Jesus; we will have eternal life.

John 3:16-17

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

This Christmas season the greatest gift of all is waiting for you to accept, from the God who created the universe?

Jesus is the reason for this season we call Christmas! – RTM

I am the Real Truckmaster: 1. I am a born-again Christian (a sinner saved by the grace of God). 2 I am a retired US Army Transportation Sergeant First Class (E-7), my last position of assignment was as the "Truckmaster" of the US Army Transportation Motor Pool in Yokohama Japan (1989-90). 3. I am an amateur military historian. 4. I am a Thailand Veteran of the Vietnam War. 5. I detest "Politics as Usual". 6. I'm pro-life (Abortion is murder) and there is no justification or excuse for it. 7. I believe that we must place the security and welfare of America First! Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion. I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump. There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience. My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!
