我們原來的土耳其鄰居說古蘭經裏的耶穌是一個先知,他皮膚黑黑,五短身材,是個有著中東人長相的猶太人。聖經以賽亞書53說 He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain... he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. 耶穌沒有顏值,不是帥哥,他是替罪羊,沒有他的死, 就沒有人類罪的赦免。他的死成全了人類的救贖。
救世主耶穌的出生,死亡和複活都是超自然的。幾千年來,全世界信他的人們在每年12月慶祝他的誕辰,因為他的出生意義重大。聖經最後一部預言書啟示錄上講到了世界末日大戰和耶穌的再來,還有新天新地。啟示錄又說 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away。在神的新天新地裏,將不再有邪惡,痛苦,哭泣和死亡。
耶穌是聖誕節的主角。我們教會每年都有聖誕晚會,紀念耶穌誕辰。
