It’s Jesus birthday; believers are having a party and you’re invited!

Will there be birthday cakes?

I know many families will serve cake.

Will parents light birthday cake candles?

Jesus is not making a wish.

He does not need good luck or wishes to make His hopes come true.

We can fulfill His hopes.

He prayed for us.

I know what Christ wants.

“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.  Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;  for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.  I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours; and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.  I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are (John 17: 6-11 NASB). “

Are we one?

“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;  that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me (John 17:20-21 NASB).”

Let’s light one birthday candle.
