Christmas can mean many things to many people. What matters most is what the LORD says it is all about. Secondly, how are we looking at it.
The reason for Christmas is the Cross. The Saviour is born, so that He can die on the cross of Calvary, for and on our behalf. He became flesh so that you and I can have LIFE, life ETERNAL and have it ABUNDANTLY.
Celebrations are good, and we should celebrate Christmas. However, it should be for what it is all about.
CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT YOU AND ME.
We the human race have lost our way, and have no means to get back to eight way. Jesus is the only way.
CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT GOD.
God who chose for forgive by becoming the offering of sacrifice for our forgiveness. God loved us and gave Himself for us.
CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT GIVING.
God gave Himself for worthless and hopeless people like us. Therefore, as His children, let us learn to give generously – ourselves, our talents, our time, our resources and our money.
CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT JOY, PEACE AND HOPE.
The Bible says “2 The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined.” – Isaiah 9:2. All is not lost for the fallen human beings. The REDEEMER changed the equation. This needs to be celebrated!
May the LORD, who loved us to the extent of dying on the cross, for our sins, bless you, your family, and all that is close to your hearts, and give you peace and hope. Wishing you A Very HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
"Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is that you shall have everlasting life."
