Ministry of Paradise

Human beings must celebrate the birth of Jesus every day for the very reason that God so loved the world that he give us his only begotten Son (John 3:16):   Jesus, the Christ of God, the salvation of God (Luke 2:30-32) is God’s gift to human beings. This was made apparent by Simeon, a just and devout man in Jerusalem who it was revealed by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ (Luke 2: 25-26). When Simeon saw Jesus for the first time he said: “For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel” (Luke 2:30-32).

And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:39–40). “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but sha...
