What
people think about Christmas!

Jesus Is The Child, The Reason For
The Season!

Then so was Christmas, its
quiet interesting to know the thoughts of many people about Christmas. Mostly
it’s about the cloths, the hair style, the place to go, the food to eat and
another thing that amaze us as children at that time was the cries of innocent
chickens, goats, rams, cows that there very own lives are laid for the stomach
and many more. In the past, people celebrate Christmas with an essence- a true
essence. So very unfortunate in the world today many people do not know the
true essence of the birth of that little Child born in a manger. Before His
coming, many things took place to prepare His coming. His birth, another
remarkable thing- born through a virgin, in a house of sheep’s, laid in a
manger, a place were feeds are put for the satisfaction of animals. Now a king
has being born, a star appeared to the three shepherds, “a king has been born
for you today”. Normally when you find a person or a child born in this kind of
situation, as poor as it might be; the gifts that will be given to him/her will
be less expensive and just as manageable for a few penny. But the birth of this
very Child attracted gifts of lots, real expensive from not just anybody,
-Gold, Silver and Myre. His birth as humble. We ought to celebrate
Christmas just as his birth, with dignity, respect and true essence of the
birth in mind.
Christmas
is a very special day that we celebrate once a year. A day the Child, the
savoir Christ was born, surrounded by farm animals in Bethlehem.
An
article I read stated this “Christians and non-Christians celebrates Christmas
as a major festival and take public holiday in countries around the world.
Others celebrate Christmas with gift-giving, decorations and Christmas trees”.
Again I asked is this the true essence of the birth of this Child? No, many
people take Christmas to be a normal religious routine, a festival that every
body enjoy, a festival of committing many atrocities, a festival of drinking
bear to drunk, a festival of committing all sort of immoral acts as to enjoying
human pleasures, sex and so on. Any body with this kind of thought should
re-think again. Non Christians Join Christians to celebrate Christmas because
of the wrong impression that was given to them; they feel free and secure to
celebrate because the true essence is the unknown. For many, instead of unbelievers
to realize Jesus birth and significance to their lives, they end up seeing the
appeal of seeking pleasure instead of a humble adoration. Unbelievers are supposed
to know the true essence of Christmas when ever it is celebrated. The
relationships and the communications should be about the marvelous birth of
this child that every nation is talking about and wants to know about, the
peace that came to the world, the price sacrifice for all. The true essence of
the birth is the thing that needs to be preached around the world. For the
humble savoir was not born in the palace of immorality, nor the den of
drunkards, nor the place of adultery, nor the house of iniquity, nor the room
of wickedness or in the mist of kings – for he is the King of kings, And the
Government shall be upon His shoulders, and He shall be called, wonderful counselor,
the mighty God, the everlasting father, and the Kings of kings.
The Real Meaning of Christmas
Once again it’s December, the time
of remembrance of the birth. December has come and with it all the joys of
Christmas. But what is the real meaning of Christmas? Could it be the cloths,
the meat, the chickens, the rice, the cruse through the town, the dinners with
friends and family, the picnics and so much lots of fun, the father Christmas
grooming around the corner of streets with gifts and chocolates. Is this really
the Christmas Bundle?
Many
people expect in Christmas, they go extra miles to see that they have a pot of
rice, a bow of chicken and some bits of Christmas gifts for friends. For some
they have the privilege of spending time with their families and children,
relative who come from different places for the purpose of this wonderful
occasion. Its quiet unfortunate to see how people struggle in other to get the
Christmas going, But come to think of it, the money is not enough, the cloths
for the children; the pink one for the baby girls and the jeans for the boys.
Yet, Christmas can be a season of great joy.
The celebration of the birth of this
Child is the true essence of Christmas. The birth of this child brought great
joy to the world. The Shepherds, wise men, and angels all shared in this
remarkable event in a life time, an everlasting hope for all.
Long before time, His coming was
foretold by Prophets. Luke 2: 6-14 says:
“While they were there, the time came for the
baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in
cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the
inn.
And there were shepherds living out
in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the
Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they
were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you
good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of
David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: You will
find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great
company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor
rests."
In this hard world of many dangers
and pre exposure to darkness, a light was born, a light that can not be
quenched, a light for all to see. This child’s story was one that can not be
left out; He is one of truth, love, and hope. He brought the hope of salvation
to all of us. Because of our wrongs He came. We can know that heaven is a place
where we can go to when this life is over, only when we have this child in mind
(Jesus).
We can truly be happy at Christmas!
No matter the conditions we find ourselves, no matter the ache that cause our
downfall, the only thing we need to have is this Child. What may be happening
might be a stepping stone to your lives greatest rounds. Believing in this
child this Christmas means bringing home the peace that last forever and
eternity. Though we may then after believing have a peaceful home, but there is
something much greater, Heaven will be our peaceful home one day.
Look at Christmas in a new way this
year. This is the year to invite Jesus into your heart. You will then have a
"Merry Christmas." The joy and peace you will receive will last all
year as you look to God for all your needs to be met.
Jesus Is The Child, The Reason For
The Season!
The Celebration
People
celebrate Christmas in a grand style, gifts, sweets, dinners, parties, dances,
etc. especially eating is one of the best part of Christmas because its just
like any other anniversary that people celebrate. Yap, actually its good to
keep the body and soul together, but its all about fun now days.
As we
show the love for our families, friends and relatives we should put In mind the
ultimate love of God. For when we celebrate Christmas, we are celebrating one
of the greatest truths of our faith.
The
truth if very far from people today, because the work that Christians are
obligated to do and show to unbelievers is not achieved due to the change in
true Christian practice. The new way of life today shows us that Christmas is a
celebration of all, believers and unbelievers.
The
mind set of this wonderful celebration should not only remember the event that
took place 2,000 years ago but the remarkable and supernatural coming of the
child Jesus.
Jesus Is The Child, The Reason For
The Season!
Benefits
of believing in this Child (Jesus)
Galatians
4:1-7 says: “what I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no
different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. He is subject to
guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. So also when we were
children, we were in slavery under the basic principles of the world. But when
the time had fully come, God sent his son, born of a woman, born under the law.
To redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.
Because you are Sons, God sent the spirit of His son into our hearts, the spirit who
calls out, “Abba Father”. So you are no longer slave, but a son; and since you
are a son, God has made you also an heir.”
This
child is an amazing child character. At the fullness of time the Father in
heaven sent His only son for the redemption of the all. This is a message of
great joy. According to Galatians, we humans are born under the law which means
that there was a law that existed before the coming of this child. A law, meaning
there is a fault somewhere, a law given to guide. When a law is in existence
people have a mandate to obey no matter how difficult it might seem and failure
to do what the law demand means a price must be paid (condemnation). That law
was a law that limited the true inheritance that was meant to be if not,
because of the fall of Adam and eve. By this we are subjected to the ruling of
the law which indeed did not offer a room for salvation. The law that governs a
child; “What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no
different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.” It has been the
plan of God for His children to inherit the kingdom, but along the line there
was a rebellion. God showed his greatest love and mercy which is the greatest
gift of all. He so much loved man that He gave His only Son (in the fullness of
time) to come into the world under the law to defeat the law and to conquer the
death which is the condemnation under the law, to bring us to His marvelous
light of eternity and the benefits and inheritance as heirs of the Father.
Through this very child (Jesus) who came we can now be sure and certain of full
rights as sons and daughters of God; Only if we chose to believe in this very
child of hope, life and eternity.
Roms.
8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the
law of sin and death.”
Today
is our now, tomorrow no one knows. The child is the way the truth and the life,
no one can go to the father except through Him. This child is a child that only
through Him we can get save, through Him we are sons “Because you are Sons, God
sent the spirit of His son into our hearts, the spirit who calls out, “Abba
Father”. This child, through Him we have an inheritance of the father. The
world has offered us wealth, pleasures of immorality, fame and fortunes, this
very world has offered us nothing but death, this world can not offer us this
great privilege that God (the ultimate) offered. This ultimate gift is the
Child that was born in Bethlehem. Therefore anyone who believe in this child
“there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. This very
child is the child that every child, big or old, slaves or free, masters or
servants celebrate and feast in the Christmas. How do you wish to ask yourself
this Christmas; will it be all the chickens, will it be all the picnics – get
together, will it be the hangouts, will it be the parties or the ultimate, will
it be all about telling others and showing others the importance of the
celebrations of the birth of this very child. It’s remarkable how we had this
story; it’s amazing how we believed, it is hopeful having been saved and having
a place as a son/daughter of the Father (God). Have you also been saved by this
very child. There is nothing to loss because life is just a journey or an
adventure. A task is given, a mandate to be fulfilled, lives through the child,
to lead to an eternal life and inheritance. Then world no matter there struggle
can never compare even an inch to what the child (Jesus) has. Moreover God owns
everything on earth and in heaven.
Make
this Christ your Christmas this year 2012 as we forward into the grace of the New
Year 2013 and you will truly experience the joy of a CHRIST CHRISTMAS CHRISTIAN.
