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
