CHRISTMAS BEGINS WITH CHRIST!
It’s not all about shepherd’s, it’s not all about
manger scenes as we will call them. It’s all about God’s love. For you to
celebrate Christmas honestly, you’ve got to deal with Jesus. That’s what this
is all about!
For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16(KJV)
You can buy all the presents you want to buy; give to
all the people you want to buy for. The question is “Did you really celebrate
Christmas or did you celebrate a holiday?” It is any wonder the world wants to
call it a holiday? We’ll tell you why? Because deep down inside they know it
has nothing to do with Jesus on their part. It has to do with money,
materialism, food, pleasure, parties, commercialised festival and paganism.
Christmas is all about God coming to earth in the
person of His Son Jesus Christ, living among men, dying on a cross, rising from
the grave, ascended to the Father, seated at His right hand to hear the cries
and pleas of His people and the sinners asking for forgiveness of their sin.
That’s what this is all about!
For I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
1 Corinthians 15:3-4(KJV)
When you read or hear the Bible story next time,
remember a lot of things where behind the scenes but significantly in the eyes
of God. If you are one of those persons you would have to say today “Well you
know I’ve never trusted Jesus, I have read or heard the story a few times, my
mother and father they’ve read it or heard it too, but I didn’t really think it
had very much significance for me”.
Let us tell you how significant it really is, if you
ignore it you will die and be eternally separated from God Almighty period! Hell
a place of darkness with no hope, no second chance, eternally separated from
God. That’s how significant it is.
In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ:
Who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of
his power;
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9(KJV)
God doesn’t want you to go to hell, neither do you
want to go there. To receive everlasting life as a free gift, repent, believe,
and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, to save you and you will pass from
death to life. Then read the Bible daily and ask God to help you obey what you
read. No matter what you have done, where you have been, where you are now. He
will transform your life and take you to heaven.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting
life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:24(KJV)
For all of us who are believers we would ask again,
how could you ever keep this message to yourself? When you have a relationship
with Jesus, you can have access to God and enjoy all the benefits of His
promises.
With Blessing in Christ,
David & Gay
