THE CHRISTMAS STORY is one of the most famous stories ever told. It's that wonderful time of the year for "The Christmas Celebration", when people around the world seem to have a special feeling of joy and kindness in their hearts.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb (Revelation 22:1). The Spiritual water of life pouring forth in front of the throne of God.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:2). The Tree of life is Jesus Christ that will spiritually heal the nations of the world. (This is a never ending healing and feeding to the people who overcome).

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him (Revelation 22:3). "Yahveh Shamma." (God is there). "This is the full Godhead."

And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. (Revelation 22:4). This is the seal of God; In Their Minds!

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22:14). Those keeping His commandments and doing His work, will have the right to enter in through the gates of the city. (Those with the seal of God).

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. (John 10:11). The "Good Shepherd" (Jesus Christ), is the one who gave up His life for us "the sheep" (His children).

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). One of the most important scriptures in written the bible. To believe in Him, you must first get to know Him. We get to know Jesus Christ through His written Word.

I will pray the Father and shall give you another “Comforter,” that he may abide with you forever. (John 14:16). This comforter is the “Holy Spirit” Christ Himself (our friend), as part of the full Godhead.

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (John 15:14). Keep the commandments of God and it shows that you are a friend of Jesus. Come to repentance, He just wants our love.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. (John 15:15). Through the “Holy Spirit” He makes all things known to us as He dwells within us, and He has called you friend. “And there is no better friend, than a friend in Jesus.”
