Well he’s a pretty nice fella suppose but a poor substitute for the real thing He seems to have many of the attributes that the Bible declares belong only to God Isn’t it amazing that the world craves the leadership and benevolence of a superman but has rejected the only real superman that ever lived: the God man Jesus Christ The Bible tells us that this person of Christ is God's literal and real "Word" to men John :1 says “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God" The Sen has always existed with the Father He never had a He and the Father have always been God equal in beginning all ways with each other and yet separate in personality But the good news is that Jesus Christ the only true and living God and creator of the universe humbled Himself to become a man and to live a sinless life among men then died for our signs on the cross to provide for our salvation Only a super sinless man could pay the penalty and price for all our sins and gain victory over death and hell for us Only a super sinless man could offer eternal life and forgiveness of all our sins as a free gift to use But the Bible says He will only give this wonderful gift of eternal life to unworthy sinners who will turn from their sins and trust in His sacrifice and work for their salvation apart from any works that we can do "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23) Was the babe in the manger any less the Almighty God than before He was born or after He died and rose from the dead? No! His name was Err tanuel meaning God with Us! Today the world has for the most part not only rejected the only real superman that ever lived and welcomed a poor substitute but sad to say in the near future they will accept another substitute called Antichrist in the real Christ’s place What about you this Christmas? Have you received the real Christ into your heart and i'fe as your Lord and Savior? Have you received His free gift of eternal life and the forgiveness of all your sins? If not why not?' My God's richest blessings be yours this Christmas Hope it’s smooth sailing all the way! We’re Making Difference Mayfield Manor & is Alive!
