Rev. Charles J. Paul and Executive Minister Joseph J. Morrison. Wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. And thank you all for your ongoing support of this ministry where the TRUTH of God's Word MATTERS.
From Martin Luther:
In our Christian Creed we confess that Christ was conceived and made man or was incarnate (if I may so speak), that He became a real human being by assuming a body. We confess that He assumed genuine flesh and blood from the Virgin Mary, that He did not pass through her as the sun shines through a glass but brought her virgin flesh and blood with Him. If this had taken place only with the cooperation of Mary, the Babe would not have been pure. But though Mary has been conceived in sin, the Holy Spirit takes her flesh and blood and purifies them; and thence He creates the body of the Son of God. This is why it is said that "He was conceived by the Holy Ghost." Thus He assumed a genuine body from His mother Mary, but this body was cleansed from sin by the Holy Spirit. If this were not the case, we would not be saved.

John 1:1 tell's us. In the beginning was the Word and Word was with God and the Word was God.
The Word of God and God are one in the same. We also see in John 1:14 that.... the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father.
You see this very Word. The very Word of God that you and I read and study. This very Word became FLESH and DWELT among us. What a powerful thought. And it is this Word that will never pass away. It is also this Word that became Flesh that also was the perfect sacrifice for our sins. It is also this Word that became flesh and was laid in a tomb. But on the thrid day this Word made Flesh ROSE from the grave. and it is now that very Word made flesh that dwelt among us. that is seated at the right hand of GOD the Father.
It is with that Powerful thought in mind. That I along with my Executive Minister Joseph J. Morrison. Want to wish you and your family a very Blessed MERRY CHRISTMAS.
