Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

You know, this is a time of the year that we're busy giving and receiving gifts.

But what a tragedy it would be to go throughout this Christmas season without receiving the greatest gift of all, the gift that God gave us,

the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

At First Baptist Dallas, we believe that Christmas is really a big deal.

And every year we put forward our very best talents to celebrate the magnificent birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Today on Pathway to Victory, we're going to enjoy a majestic music performance from the First Baptist Dallas Choir and Orchestra.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's very special Christmas celebration. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

Hundreds of years before the baby Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the prophet Isaiah made an astounding prediction.

Do you remember what he said?

In Isaiah chapter 9 we read this amazing prophecy.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us, and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Well today we're setting aside the entire program to celebrate this pronouncement in music.

What you're about to hear is a masterful performance by the First Baptist Dallas Choir and Orchestra.

It's critically important to remind you that time is running out to request your copy of the 2023 Pathway to Victory Daily Devotional.

I wrote this brand new edition for you so that we could spend time in God's Word together side by side through each weekday in 2023.

I've written a brief chapter for every Monday through Friday in the New Year and the Slate Blue Leatherbound Edition is yours.

When you give a generous year in gift to accelerate the mission of Pathway to Victory, remember that right now your gift has twice the impact because of the light in the darkness matching challenge.

I believe there's no greater gift you could give this Christmas season than to shine the light of Jesus into the darkness of the world.

You can become a beacon of hope, direction, and everlasting joy to someone who is yet to hear about Jesus.
