23). This is the one Paul, the apostle wrote in his letter to the Philippians, “ who, being in very nature God, did not consider quality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness, and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-even death in a cross. Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place and gives him the name that is above every name, that is the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven, and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:6-11) and in his letter to the Hebrews, he writes, “In the past, God spoke to our forefathers through the Prophets at many tines and in various ways, but in these  last days he has spoken to us by this Son, who he appointed higher of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the majesty in heaven” (Hebrew 1:1-3). And this is the one he spoke of in his first letter to Timothy, “beyond all questions, the mystery of Godliness is great, He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nation, was believed on in the World, was taken up in Glory”. (Timothy 1:3-16). This is the one we believe in and by him, we are saved. “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved”. (Acts 4:12).

Wishing each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and very happy and prosperous 2007.
