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.

Jesus explained was coming this way, He said, for God so loved the world, for God so loved you and me, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in, trust in claims to Him, shall not perish.

But have eternal life.

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

Today we're getting a front row seat to a wonderful performance of sacred music from the first Baptist Dallas choir and orchestra.

We hope that this worship presentation will put you and your family in the ultimate Christmas spirit and point your heart to the true reason for the season.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's special Christmas program, Dr. Jeffress.

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. Christmas is just about here and we're so glad you joined us.

Now, as you would expect, our entire team at Pathway to Victory is home with their families celebrating the Christmas weekend together.

But I can assure you that our website is up and running 24-7. We have devoted members who are answering the phone as well.

And this makes it possible for you to take a few minutes to request your copy of the brand new 2023 Pathway to Victory Daily Devotional.

I'm eager to send this large leather bound volume to your home right away so that you're able to start your day or end your day in God's word every single weekday in the new year.

Plus, because of the light and the darkness matching challenge, you had the opportunity to leverage the impact of your special gear and gift.

We're fast approaching the deadline for this matching challenge, asking God to help us reach the staggering goal of $525,000.

This means that every dollar you give to Pathway to Victory before December 31st will be matched by a group of friends and therefore doubled in size.

I'm going to say more about the daily devotional and matching challenge later on, but right now, I want to infuse a little Christmas joy into your day.

I decided to set aside today's entire program for the sole purpose of lifting our voices and our hearts in praise to God.

In fact, we've put together a Christmas CD for you, and David's going to tell you about it later.

But right now, would you enter the worship center at First Baptist Dallas with me? Let's enjoy this wonderful Christmas performance by the First Baptist Dallas choir and orchestra.

Enjoy to the world, the Lord is come, let her receive her gift.

We sing joy to the world, the Lord is come, let her receive her gift.

We sing joy to the world, all the ladies sing together.
