Beyond the reindeers, colours, gifting, merriment, jingles, celebration, eating, dinning...and the festivity in entirety. What does Christmas connote to you? Is it just a time of feasting or a time to reminisce? More than wining and dining; I believe a core reason for Christmas.
Christmas, I believe is the commemoration of Christ’s birth. Simply put – celebrating the birth of Christ. We all know that when we celebrate our individual birthdays, attention is always on us, at least for that day. I think we should now ask ourselves, why is it that our focus and attention is being shifted from Christ, the reason for Christmas?
The birth of Jesus translated to salvation for us today, because if he wasn’t born there’ll be no death and resurrection which led to restoration for us from our fallen state, so I say the birth of Christ is the precedence of our salvation and I believe we owe our entirety to Him for that.
He who left his glory and came in human form just to have us saved, what more love than this can we get? I beseech you beloved, more than the fun of the season, worship the king of kings, celebrate Jesus, make Him known all over, talk to an ignorant one about Him...tell of His love and sacrifice.
The only reason why we have Christmas is JESUS! and no other reason, therefore let this season be for Jesus in your life, home, family, environment and everywhere.
Remember that “... unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting father, The prince of peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the lord of hosts will perform this”. Isaiah 9:6-7 (KJV).
Ánd indeed the zeal of the Lord has performed this, we have the Saviour and councellor , the basis for our celebration. Celebrate Jesus more than ever this Yuletide; Sing His praise, proclaim Him on social media, Preach Jesus… give Jesus to a life at least, and I assure you you’ll have the best of Christmas so far.
