MESSAGE FROM GCPC’S GUATEMALA PARTNERSHIP COMMITTEE

Our sister church in Guatemala, Iglesia Jerusalem, has contributed a video for this Christmas Eve, the final day of our Advent Calendar. See below for the link. The video begins with their statements about the meaning of Christmas. We provide translations for each.

 

NAVIDAD

(Christmas)

¿Qué es la Navidad?

(What is Christmas?)

 

Para nosotros, es el tiempo en el que recordamos y conmemoramos el nacimiento de nuestro Señor y Salvador JESUSCRISTO.

(For us, it’s the time when we remember and commemorate the birth of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST.)

 

ISAIAH 9:6-7.

“For a child has been born for us, a son given to us: authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.”

 

En esta época demostramos el amor y compasión que tuvo Jesucristo con nosotros, atraves del apoyo como Iglesia, conmemorando con actividades que dejen un mensaje cristiano y saliendo a compartir con los más necesitados.

(At this time of year, we demonstrate the love and compassion that Jesus Christ had for us. As the Church, we celebrate with activities that impart a Christian message, reaching out to share with the most needy.)
