Brothers and sisters in Christ, making Jesus the reason to celebrate Christmas makes
this season more joyous and enjoyable. Jesus – a Savior has been born “to save His
people from their sins”. (Matthew 1:21). We rejoice and celebrate that “unto us a
Child is born, unto us a Son is given, who is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). Jesus, who is God, came in
the flesh to dwell among us. He died to pay for the penalty for our sins and rose
again to conquer death and hell. The Bibles instructs us to share the good news of
salvation to everyone (Matthew 28:18-19) so they too will come to believe in Jesus,
have a real relationship with God and will not perish but will have everlasting life.
(John 3:16).

Beloved children of the Most High God, the birth of Jesus the Messiah is the only
reason to celebrate the Christmas season. Christmas is a time of the year when the
average person Christians and non-Christians either at home, in the stores or in the
office makes a particular effort to be kind and smile at others. It is primarily a season
of giving. Christmas is about giving because on that first Christmas eve, God gave the
best, His Son, to be born of a Virgin, live a life of complete obedience to the Father
and eventually gave His life in order to save mankind. The important thing is that
Jesus came to this earth to save us from eternal punishment and restore our broken
fellowship with God. Christmas should be a time to share the good news that Jesus
came to live a perfect human life and voluntarily died on the cross for salvation to
become available to all who will put their faith in Him. Had Jesus not come down
from heaven and been born of a virgin, there would have been no Savior to take the
punishment for our sin on the cross.

Christmas is about life, love and family. What we are celebrating is the birth of
our Savior Jesus Christ. After all, there won’t be Christmas without Christ. There
would be no reason to celebrate this season had Jesus not come. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

PRAYER POINT. Thank You for Your unchanging and unconditional love towards
me, help me to come to a new and deeper understanding of What the Love of
God towards me truly means. This I ask in the name of Jesus my Savior
