Happy Birthday, God! And happy King's Birthday, everyone!

"..when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship." (Galatians 4)

Happy Birthday, God! 
Thanks for being born for righteousness sake, at the appointed time, at the appointed day. This is the day of the Lord.

Hallelujah! Salvation, glory and power belong to our God! Kiss the Son and pay Him homage, lest He be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for His wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are those who take refuge in Him. (Revelation; Psalm2)

His birth marks the transformation of the world: The kingdom of this world is become Kingdom of our God, and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. Happy King's Birthday, everyone!

Merry Christmas, my treasured friends, here's wishing that you would also choose to be permanent citizens of the new Kingdom to come -- the kingdom of our God and of His Christ. For His reign is forever, his days know no bounds; our King's heart is gentle humble and true, His yoke is comparatively easy, His burden comparatively light, His justice ever balanced, His righteousness absolute and His fairness reasonable. His glory radiant -- from everlasting -- to everlasting. And we can see His face and not die, have Him living in and with us and not fizzle. His holiness is ever before Him. As it is written in John 6: "Lord, you have the words -- the reason behind -- the reason why -- the logos -- of eternal life", whom else do we follow but you? 主啊,袮有永生之道,我們還跟從誰呢? 

This is why we celebrate.
