Beautiful Savior

以賽亞書9:6
因有一嬰孩為我們而生；有一子賜給我們。政權必擔在他的肩頭上；他名稱為奇妙策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君。

人們在聖誕節的時候慶祝、狂歡的目的是什麼?
主耶穌降生的日子不可考，聖誕節也不是耶穌真正的生日。耶穌的降生，是為了之後的受死，他的受死是為了我們。我們因此而狂歡?!我們因此快樂?　

我們因著耶穌而有盼望，有新的生命。我們是應該歡喜快樂，我們更應該有個感恩的心，感謝神的慈愛、恩典和憐憫，若不是神的憐憫，我們怎麼能因著相信耶穌，而稱為神的兒女!在聖誕節一系列的慶祝活動中，我們應把失焦的焦點再次聚焦在真正的主角及原因上。我們要高舉的是耶穌，讓耶穌能夠得到應得的榮耀。

願普天下能夠藉著聖誕節，而認識這位救主。用這天來紀念耶穌的降生，感謝父神的慈愛和憐憫。耶穌的名字稱為奇妙策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君。祂是道路、真理和生命。

在至高之處榮耀歸於神，在地上平安歸於他所喜悅的人。

願你從神而來的平安、喜樂、恩典常與你同在。
聖誕快樂!



BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR
by Casting Crowns

All my days I will sing the song of gladness
Give my praise to the fountain of delights
For in my helplessness, you heard my cry
And waves of mercy poured down on my life

(chorus)
Beautiful Savior, wonderful counselor
Clothed in majesty, Lord of history
You're the way, the truth and the life
Star of the mornin, glorious in holiness
You're the risen one, heaven's champion
And you reign, you reign over all

I will trust in the cross of my Redeemer
I will sing of the LAMB that never fails
Of sins forgiven, of conscience cleared
Of death defeated and life without end

(chorus)
Beautiful, beautiful Savior
Wonderful counselor, beautiful risen one

(chorus)
I long to be where the praise is never ending
Yearn to DWELL where the glory never fades
WITH countless worshippers SING one song
And the voices of the nations
Sing worthy, worthy, worthy
Worthy beautiful, beautiful one
Jesus you are worthy, beautiful, beautiful one
Jesus you're worthy, beautiful, beautiful one
You are worthy, beautiful, risen one
