Jesus is the Gift

“For God so loved the world that he gave…” John 3:16

Jesus is the Gift Jesus is the gift that perfectly fits every heart and it is with His love that all celebration starts. We rejoice in Him as we remember His birth and thank God for sending His only Son to earth. His life led from a manger to a cross on a hill where He faithfully followed His Father’s perfect will. He freely laid down everything so that we could live, and there is no greater treasure anyone could give. Like a scarlet ribbon His love wrapped around the cross and He offered it to us all at the greatest cost. So each time that we give we remember what He’s done and honor the perfect Gift?God’s one and only Son.

A friend who was a studying to become Surgeon, couldn't believe that in 1915 such things have happened. His father has seen those events, and he had told him about them, but his son was not convinced. "I cannot believe how the Turks could have done such vile barbarism", he use to repeat. However, in 6-7 Sept., he saw the event of the 1955, he became convinced and said, "Now I believe in the stories."

For those seeing ????? or OOOOO in their newsletters

I'd like to tell to all our readers who are getting "chinese" and gibberish letters in some of the posts and sections, that these are in fact Armenian letters and words that your email provider does not recognize. Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail users will not have this problem. Those who have local providers and use email services of the ones like Cyberia, IDM (Lebanese companies) and alike may face this issue.

In case you have this issue and you'd like to read the Armenian fonts, and you have another email address (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, ...), you can provide us with it and we will send the Emmanuel newsletters to it.

Note: Don't forget to read this section too: How to write in Armenian unicode
