MERRY CHRISTMAS
Merry CHRISTmas, Season’s Greetings, Happy Holidays and other expressions are used during this time when we are celebrating the birth of Jesus. Many people have not a clue what Christians are celebrating during this time of the year but could know if they would believe that this child was the Son of God.
This scripture tells us: Luke 2 11” Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Hallelujahs should be echoing throughout the entire world as we praise God the Father for loving us so much He put a plan in action at the beginning of time to redeem us from our sins and give us eternal life with Him but also to give us a life full of His love here on earth.
John 3:16 “ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” gives us the reason for this season. God’s great love for us and his desire to have a personal relationship with each of us. A relationship which begins the minute we accept Jesus as our Saviour and Lord of our life and lasts for eternity.
His birth was overshadowed by the cross for He came into this world knowing that he would die a horrible death on the cross to complete the plan. He willingly gave up his throne in heaven for a time to pay debt for my sins and yours. This great love cannot be comprehended by us on this side of heaven but as we walk each day with our Lord, read His words, commune with Him through prayer and sit at His feet and listen to Him, we grow to be more like Him.
As His daughter, I am blessed beyond measure for I know that for now and eternity I will be His child. This is why I say “Merry CHRISTmas” and celebrate this season with joy. Will you join me? Read John 3:16 again and believe that He died for you, acknowledge Him as the Son of God, repent of your sins, pray for forgiveness. Ask Him to become Lord of your life and you will have a new life. Pray to God the Father and tell Him of your decision. Email me if you want more information or talk to a Christian friend or a minister of God.
Merry Christmas and may God bless you
