Savior Jesus birth 

 But the angel said to them,

"Do not be afraid.

I bring you good news of great joy

that will be for all the people.

Today in the town of David

a Savior has been born to you;

he is Christ the Lord."

Luke 2:10,11

 

       ♪ 감사와 사랑으로 오늘 외우는 말씀

The city of Bethlehem where 

the Savior Jesus was born  is heard

quiet this year's Christmas season. 

It is because of the Israel war.

In the small Gaza Strip by

the Mediterranean is very noisy. 

To survive even before the death of

the loved, 2 million refugees are struggling

to escape any place that seems to be

less dangerous. 

It has been some 70days since

the Israeli people worshiping

their God Jehovah dancing and singing

who were suddenly kidnaped 

by the Muslim terrorists Hamas.

The Israel has been crying like a lioness

lost her lionet; saying to fight until

she brings back her people kidnaped

and destroy all the Hamas terrorists.

The Hamas terrorists say their purpose

of life is to please their god Allah by

following his desire that is erase the Israelite 

on the map, erasing almost

10 million in Palestein Israel. 

We felt numbness,

not knowing even how to pray.  

As the war continues in this Christmas

season of Prince of Peace,

the nations are holding breath for

the possibility of expansion. 

It is an acute time for the mankind again

the Christmas Message from heaven.   

But the angel said to them,

"Do not be afraid.

I bring you good news of great joy

that will be for all the people.

Today in the town of David

a Savior has been born to you;

he is Christ the Lord."

On the field of the town of David,

the shepherds rested enjoying

the bright stars,

suddenly an angel appeared and gave

good news of great joy for all.

This first Christmas Message protected

the mankind for the last

2 thousands years.     

Please Lord, give once again 

the good news of great joy for all and

especially to the suffering Israelites

and Palestiens in Gaza Strip.

The second Christmas Message, 

all mankind who so earnestly waiting for 

the glorious Jesus, the righteous Judge

coming again to wash our sorrow and heal.   

Please help them throw away the missiles

and air strikes and riffles  

and let disappear all the fear, sorrow,

haterate, resentment and pains. 

Give them songs, dance and love to worship 

the Savior Jesus who died on the cross

for us to forgive our sin.  

Let the thanksgiving, victorious joyful noise

be shouted in Palestien starting from

this Christmas. 

Let the second Christmas Message of

great joy for all be flow like 

a gentle river as hope and life to all

the Children, the injured, refugees,

soldiers, the elderly.

Amen.
