Are you a fool for Christ? Throughout the years, individuals have provided us with a testimony of their love for Christ Jesus. From the street preacher to the
most established ministry like that of Billy Graham, people have been called to provide their testimony for Christ. The lesson on 12-09 teaches on Ephesians 3:16-19 “That he would grant you, according to the
riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend
with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” (KJV) The lesson
relates how a simple testimony can have a profound impact on those who hear it because it’s God that works in you to
accomplish His purpose. Just like the record of Patrick Henry, (taken from the book called “Patrick Henry, Patriot & Statesman”, by Norise Campbell) who emphasized to his doctor on his deathbed how great a reality and benefit religion
was to a man that was about to die... and preached to him Christ. What is your testimony? Click here to listen to the lesson on 12-09-2001.
 The Names of God. “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary
was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was
minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy
wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matt 1:18-21 (KJV) There are many names for God. In the name of Jesus we learn of God’s plan for salvation. Christ
become the one mediator between God and man by becoming a man to save the world from sin. As Prov 18:10 (KJV) says “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” The lesson on 12-16 studies
several names of God and reflects on the true meaning of Christmas.

The Wise Men. The lesson on 12-23-2001 teaches about the testimony of the Wise Men as read in Matthew 2:1-12. These individuals are a traditional part of
most Nativity scenes but according to the scriptures, visit Jesus and his mother when he was 2 years old in a house. Tradition has changed the Word of God
to put them at the manger. These Wise Men knew of Christ’s birth because of God’s handywork in the heavens by declaring it in the stars. This was not new.
From the beginning in Genesis, God declared the story of salvation in the stars. Adam was the first astronomer who was able to read the message in the stars.
Adam then passed it on to Seth, who passed it on to Enoch, then so on and so on... Every generation knew of God’s plan through the stars and this is why the Wise Men from Persia knew it was the time
that a King was born to Israel. The lesson on 12-23-2001 takes you through the scriptures to learn the facts about the Wise Men and how the witness in the Stars was one of the first ways God testified of
Christ prior to the written word.

 Love and Hope
. The lesson on 12-30-2001 reminds us of our blessings as we go into 2002.
Primarily, the lesson reminds us of the Love and Hope that is in Christ Jesus. There are many situations in life where people give up and lose hope. However, in Christ, we have an
abundance of love and hope that is always there for us. How? According to Philippians 1:8-11 (KJV) ”For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without
offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.” Concequently, as Christians, we need to: 1) Exercise
love in discernment, 2) make good decisions, and 3) be filled with sincerity without offense. By doing so, we will know the love of Christ. As Ephesians 3:17-19 (KJV) states "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by
faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and
length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." Click here to listen to the lesson on 12-30-2001.
