\"\"<\/p>\n

That is the Savior, two thousand years ago He was born and it was prophesied by Isaiah seven hundred years before Jesus was born and His kingdom shall have no end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah 9:5-6 ESV<\/span><\/p>\n

5 For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon[a] his shoulder, and his name shall be called[b] Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rev. Jacob B Sumbayak delivers Christmas sermon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The zeal of the Lord Almighty will do this, meaning that God does this because God loves mankind so much and God does not want them to perish, but God also knows that no one can come to heaven without forgiveness without redemption, therefore God sent His Son Jesus Christ down from heaven to come to earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

God planned our redemption. Because no good deeds can atone for our sins, but whoever believes in Jesus Christ will receive forgiveness and eternal life with Jesus forever. God loves all people, regardless of race, size, and nationality.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The congregation of GPPI Pondok Daud celebrated with joy, with candle lighting, dances of the nations, as well as operettas about Bible stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rev. Judah Pakasi leads the praise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The praisers also sang Christmas songs with a grateful mood to commemorate\u00a0the birth of the Lord Jesus and also the joy of salvation that believers receive as the most beautiful gift from the Father in Heaven<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Christmas songs reminded me of the birth of the Lord Jesus and at the same time reminded me that He would soon return to pick up the church in the clouds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the end of the event, flags from various nations in the world were also raised, which illustrated that all nations rejoiced in welcoming the coming of the savior.<\/span><\/p>\n
