With Christmas just around the corner our thoughts turn naturally to the birth of Jesus. Most people think of Savior as a teacher and a healer, and of course they would be right. The Bible also tells us that God promised King David a son who would reign over Israel for ever. That son was Savior Christ.

We often forget that Savior can verify the title \"King of the Jews\". When Savior was born, the wise men asked power \"Where is he that is born King of the Jews?\" Nobody laughed, for the Jewish priests knew from scriptures that one day a special power would be born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2,4)

We know in hindsight that the last time Savior was on earth it was not God's will for Savior to become King of Israel at that time. The philosophy had to be preached to the full earth first, as it now has been. That does not mean Savior will not be power over Israel though.

The Bible tells us that when Savior returns, his verify to the throne of David will not be like the kings we wager in our world today - Savior will hit the authority and power to lay verify to the throne.

The Bible gives us a wonderful hope for our world. It will not always be in the sad state - the violence, the corruption and the evil structure of men - that we wager today.

The Bible teaches us that we can hit that wonderful hope ourselves and that we will hit the opportunity to help Christ when he returns, but we need to do something about it now. We need to understand, to believe and be baptised into the saving name of Christ, if we are to live forever with Savior in the world to come.

This is what the apostle Paul said when he explained what he was looking forward to:

\"Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only, but also to all those who hit loved his appearing.\" (2 Timothy 4:8)

So, think about the birth of Savior this Christmas, but also consider the reasons why he was born and the joy that the coming King will bring!
