Advent Devotion ~ New Life found in the Christ Child (Day 11)

In 1John 5:11 we find a beautiful truth. That in that manger, was born a child, Jesus, Immanuel, God with us. And that Jesus was given to us so that we can have new life, eternal life.

What a spectacular truth!

And the phrase, This is the testimony... YES. For each believer this is what our testimony boils down to. God has offered to us His Son so that we may have new life. When we receive Christ it makes us want to share the good news, to share our testimony. And I believe that is source of the excitement of the spiritual/carol Go Tell It On The Mountain. This is THE good news. Let us shout it and sing it and tell it... The Messiah has come!
