Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone! Karl Barth, Swiss Theologian (1886-1968) Commentary: He lost his professorship in Bonn when he opposed the Nationalist Socialist Party of Adolph Hitler. Other Pastors lost their lives in Germany who opposed Socialism! As we celebrate Christmas this season ask yourself what kind of a price would I pay to continue to follow Jesus? Socialism is not a two party system! It will not tolerate any equals! It is a one party system! All competition is eliminated not tolerated! Even God has a two party system! You vote for Heaven or Hell! The secular socialists now for decades have worked hard to remove Heaven from the American landscape! What are the results? Corruption and violence in the streets! With wokeness, cancel culture and the social justice warriors on the prowl America is becoming a very unsafe place to live! Socialism produces insecurity! Economic chaos produces uncertainty! But the design is for you to trust them government and no one else! They want your worship! Caesar wanted worship from his subjects and Jesus spoiled his plans! It cost Jesus everything to purchase our redemption! King Herod ordered the plundering of the children two years old and younger in Bethlehem because he wanted no rival King! The pregnant woman had their babies aborted by the sword because they might be carrying baby Jesus! They knew nothing about Jesus! Evil wicked people catch innocent people in their nets! Socialists will destroy everything and everyone that gets in their way! The arms of government will turn on their own citizens! God has a plan to defeat evil! It is the Christ child from Bethlehem! His love confirms the truth of God and evil confirms the reason he came to earth from Heaven! We all need the Savior! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYouChurch.com

Luke 2:15 “And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.” Commentary: What is a shepherd? Let us look at the Greek word base used here. The word used is “Poimen”. The word is applied spiritually to Christ! The Good Shepherd! Also as the spiritual Pastor of a flock or congregation! So the good shepherd of the flock went to the shepherds of the sheep to announce they also have a shepherd! Little Caesar sent our 87 thousand new IRS agents to be sure Joseph and Mary and little baby Jesus should be taxed! Little Caesar sent out thousands of FBI agents to find little Jesus in Bethlehem! Joseph, Mary and little Jesus escaped Little Caesar crossing the southern border which was open into Egypt! Elites tell us we are just smelly Walmart shoppers! Some elites tell us we just cling to our Bibles and our sling shots! Goliath wants to intimidate followers of little Jesus! Jesus said they only hate you because they hate me! Still we express the love of God by taking the Gospel to them! God always appears to the nobodies of this world first! I discovered this as a young man on my death bed! My last night on earth a nobody met somebody! His name was Jesus! Do you feel like a nobody right now? Thrown away and betrayed by the world! Then you qualify to be a somebody! Not by your own strength but by his strength! Creator of the world and all life! Judge of the living and the dead! God’s value is always placed on the least of us! Do you value the least of us? The shepherds had no value until God showed up! We had no value until Jesus showed up! Merry Christmas! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYouChurch.com

I have about a one inch gap between my teeth! In order to maintain my dental hygiene I need a one inch diameter wrangler’s rope so I can floss my teeth! About a twenty five foot long rope should last me until next Christmas! Do not all send me ropes all at once so after I get my first rope I will notify everyone concerned! Because of your gracious donations to this ministry I am able to maintain my dental health! Thankyou for the pine cones last year for toiletry maintenance! They really help! James

“And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be taxed.” Commentary: Caesar not only wanted to tax Rome but the whole frickin world! There is some good news out of this! Joseph and Mary had to return to their home town of Bethlehem to register to pay their taxes to Rome! Joseph was of the lineage of David! So Jesus being born in Bethlehem was fulfilled by the Prophet Micah hundreds of years before in the Old Testament! Caesar Augustus was an emperor or Monarch of the Roman Empire! A Monarch rules with supreme power! Interestingly some Monarchs are hereditary rulers or dictators but some are elected to power as history records! Rome had conquered many nations to expand their power! The Nationalist Social Party of Germany elected Hitler to power then he suspended all constitutional power and became the Monarch or Dictator of Germany. Remember at Jesus 1st coming a Dictator politically ruled the earth! Likewise at Jesus second coming a Dictator the Anti-Christ will rule the world! A one world government with all freedom suspended! The problem with socialism is that they must continually be expanding the tax base in order to survive! The politicians in charge during Jesus 1st and 2nd coming will be very similar! Both systems trusted not in God but in themselves for their rule! So when you see American Democracy abandoned to Socialism before your very eyes do not be dismayed for this day must come yet will usher in the Messiah once again to defeat the Anti-Christ and will rule the world in peace for a thousand years! The birth pains will intensify until he comes again! Jesus defeated Rome not by the power of the sword but by the love of God for his subjects! Rome just a few hundred years later became the Holy Roman Empire the center of Christianity! Then the roads Rome built across Europe for their conquests are the same roads that were used by their missionaries to evangelize Europe! Jesus will not rule the world as an absolute Monarch but by love for his subjects! His rule will be shared by the Trinity! Jesus does nothing on his own but by obedience to the Father and according to the Holy Scriptures and confirmation by the Holy Spirit! Sharing power for the Redemption of man! Not enslaving men through the corruption of human government but freeing men from the enslaving sin from their rebellion against God! Jesus came the first time at Bethlehem as promised in scriptures and he will return the second time back to earth just as the same scriptures declare! Do you want to be part of this eternal legacy? Accept his first coming and you will embrace his second coming and be part of that also! Merry Christmas! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYouChurch.com
