A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. I Cor. 15:20,22
Thank God for allowing us to see 2020 and all because Christ is risen from the dead. He is the firstfruits of the dead, for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. To those who lost loved ones in the Church shootings, there will be a resurrection from the dead both of the just and of the unjust. There is coming a day when all in the grave will hear His voice, those that have been dead and done good, to the resurrection of the just, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of the unjust.
#And the devil that deceived them was cast into the Lake of fire and brimstone, where the Beast and false prophet are and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever. Rev.20:10
With hate groups and domestic terrorism on the rise in America, along with the devil they will be cast alive into the Lake of fire where they will be tormented forever. If you want to be saved from this terrible judgment then repent and turn to love and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. No one who is a hater will go to heaven, you must repent and have faith in God.
#And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last, of all, he was seen of me also, as one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. I Cor. 15:5-9
Paul is the author of the book of Corinthians and he is dogmatic about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As he points out the certainty of the resurrection as he was first seen of Cephas, then of the twelve. After that, he was seen for five hundred brethren at once. Now you could say one person may not be true about an event, but not five hundred. Then he was seen by James, then of all the apostles. Then last of all he was seen of me, as one born out of due season. Paul was born on the Damascus road experience and before then he persecuted the church. That is why he said he was the least of the apostles. Thank God for this report for it assures us of the accuracy of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
#Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved if ye keep in memory what I preached unto to you unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. I Cor. 15:1-4
Paul received the gospel on the Damascus road experience and he preached it to everyone. The gospel stands on these three tenets: Christ died for our sins, Christ was buried, and Christ rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. This is why we celebrate Christmas because it took the virgin birth for him to do all those things. In his Hypostatic union, he was very God of God and very man of man. So we are saved by believing these three truths.
#And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward all men. Luke 2:13,14
At the birth of Jesus, there were shepherds abiding in the field and a heavenly host of angels started to praise God. Saying Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward all men on which his favor stood. May we advance the peace of God this Christmas Season too by loving God with all our hearts and our neighbor as thyself.
#For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
Jesus is the child that is born to us and the son that is given to us. The government shall be on his shoulder. We shall call him Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, and all our Savior of the world. Now salvation is given to all just receive him into your heart this Christmas Season. For he indeed is the reason for our joy and comfort this Holiday Season.
#And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid. Luke 2:8,9
This is how the Savior of the world would be born into the world in such a humble manner, as shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night. Then the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, thus they were sore afraid. We too need to be afraid this Christmas Season, for many have not accepted Jesus as their Personal Savior. Behold he stands at the door knocking and if any man will open the door he will come in and sup with you bringing salvation to your household.
#And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the Inn. Luke 2:6,7
No room for Jesus in the Inn, so he was born in the manger and the oxen were loing. What a smelly place for the Savior of the world to be born. This time of year there was much celebration so that is why the Inn was full. The celebration should have been about Jesus. Today there is no room for Jesus too, for all are out shopping and having parties getting drunk. What a shame instead of celebrating the birth of Jesus is about partying. It is my prayer that you will make room for Jesus in your heart this Christmas Season.
#And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. Luke 2:1
Death and taxes it was over two thousand years when this tax decree went out. It was necessary for every person to pay taxes in their jurisdiction where they lived and it would be providential for Joseph would have to travel with Mary to Bethlehem because he was of the house and lineage of David. Joseph being a just man obeys the decree although being in the lineage of David would be exempt from taxes. Yet he did not want to cause a problem with Caesar Augustus. Thank God for the obedience of Joseph all through the Christmas story.
#And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her and said Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Luke 1:26-28
Gabriel was sent by God in the sixth month to go to a town in Galilee named Nazareth, To a virgin named Mary who was engaged to Joseph, of the house and lineage of David. He said Hail, thou art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed or happy art thou among women. As it had been prophesied in Isaiah that a virgin would bear a son, and he would be called Emmanuel, which is God with us. Mary is happy and amazed that God would send the arc-angel Gabriel to her, which is a sign that God is sending his Son into the world. Gabriel always announces the appearing of the Lord Jesus. Praise God for Jesus the Lamb of God who came at Christmas to take away our sin.
