Come and See Jesus
God gave us all that He had too. He loves us so much that He sent His own son, Jesus, from heaven to bring us the wonderful gift of God’s love.
The night that Jesus was born, choirs of angels filled the sky with heavenly music. Shepherds were tending their flocks on the hills by the town of Bethlehem, and when the angels told them the wonderful news about Jesus, they hurried to the stable to see Him. That night was the beginning of a miracle of love. And since then, anyone who comes to Jesus can receive God’s wonderful gift of eternal life and love.
People were going about their own way,
No one noticed at all,
Except a few shepherds and three wise men
Who came to the manger stall.
There in the stable, the baby so sweet
Was held in His mother's arms.
And high in the sky a big star shone so bright,
And angels sang this song:
Chorus 1
"Come and see Jesus, come and see Love.
He is your Savior, your King from above.
Come and see Jesus, God's holy Son.
Jesus is waiting to give you His love,
So come, everyone."
There in that small, humble Bethlehem town
Dear baby Jesus was born.
Mary, His mother, was smiling with joy,
Making sure He was happy and warm.
Sleeping near donkeys and oxen that night,
Heaven protected His way.
His birthday is Christmas, and still you can hear
The angels singing today:
Chorus 2
"Come receive Jesus (come receive Jesus), come receive love.
He is your Savior, your King from above.
Come receive Jesus, God's holy Son.
Jesus is waiting to give you His love,
So come, everyone.”
Chorus 3
I receive Jesus, I receive love.
He is my Savior, my King from above.
I receive Jesus, God's holy Son.
He is the way and the truth and the life,
He loves everyone.
Come receive Jesus, God's holy Son.
Jesus is waiting to give you His love,
So come, everyone.
Come and see Jesus.

Christmas Thoughts
A Message from Jesus
Imagine that you were one of the shepherd boys keeping watch over the sheep the night the angels came to announce My birth. How do you imagine you might have felt when you saw the sky light up with angels singing a beautiful song? What words do you think would describe your feelings?
Now, picture yourself running to the manger where I lay. What would your first thoughts be at seeing Me as a baby? What would you do or say? Think about that for a little bit as you let your mind wander back to that first Christmas when joy came into the world.
Remember the star that led the wise men to Me? I am your personal star, and whenever you feel lost or alone or misunderstood, whenever you feel sad, when things look unfair or when you want to feel close to Me—look up.
Just as My star shone for the wise men and led them to Me, I promise that whenever you look up, I will always be there to lead you, guide you, and comfort you.
Christmas is My special time to remind you about how much I love you. That’s the real “magic of Christmas,” because My love for you is like magic. My magic love can turn a bad or sad day into a good and happy one.
When you are frowning, My magic love can make you smile. And if you are crying, My magic love can wipe away your tears and wrap you up in a nice, warm hug.
Christmas is all about love, and that’s why I want people to celebrate Christmas—so that they can remember My love.
I love you! Happy Christmas, My dear children!

Hasten Now, O Shepherds
Hasten now, O shepherds,
Go to Bethlehem,
There to see the Virgin
And the Savior of all men!
Quickly, quickly,
Run today!
See the smiling baby
In a manger of hay.
Quickly, quickly,
Who will get there first
To see the King of the universe!
Such a tiny infant,
Born this holy day.
Cheer Him with your singing.
Hallelujah, hey!
Hasten now, O shepherds,
Hasten to adore
Jesus, gift of heaven;
King forever more!
Quickly, quickly,
Run today!
See the smiling baby
In a manger of hay.
Quickly, quickly,
Who will get there first
To see the King of the universe!
