The Christmas season where children and adults alike get very excited. Walking down the streets I see houses lit up beautifully. December is the most exciting and joyful month of the year.
The shops have exclusive endless aisles bearing Christmas decorations from as early as October.
In all the excitement of Christmas – presents, sweets, lights, decorations, office parties, school parties, teacher gifts and endless parties with friends and families. The countless hours of planning leading upto the big day. It all seems to be magical on one hand yet exhausting on the other.
The world seems to have completely forgotten what is Christmas all about. If you stop anyone on a busy street and ask them the real meaning of Christmas they would say- its about the presents we share with the ones we love, eating turkey,christmas tree, snow man, santa claus, reindeers etc. But there is no mention about JESUS the One person who is the core reason for this season. Movies ignore him and children are taught about Santa and elfs more than JESUS
Who is this MAN?
….“Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him! Luke:8:25
I would like to tell you that HE is no ordinary Man and HE is the only One who deserves the adoration this Christmas season.
HE is the CREATOR of the Universe
Everything was created through HIM.
1In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,1
and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.John:1:1-3
HE is LIFE
4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone. John:1:4
HE is LIGHT
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it. John:1:5
HE is GOD’s own SON
.13 And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man.[h] He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. 14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. 15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance. Rev:1:12-16
HE is Supreme over all
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. Heb:1:1-4
HE is everything the world needs
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Is:9:6
HE is the Judge
22 In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge, 23 so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him. John:5:22,23
HE is the Way, the Truth, the Life
6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except
through me. Jn:14:6
He gives eternal life
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. 30 The Father and I are one.”Jn:10:28-30
JESUS is the reason for Christmas. Let us remember HIM and be grateful for HIS life, although HE is GOD’s own Son who owns everything and is filled with immense Glory. HE left it all behind to be born as a humble baby in The most humblest ways ever seen in human history.
HE chose Mary and Joseph and not royalty
HE chose a manger and not a palace
HE chose shepherds to share the good news not rich people
HE chose humility
All because HE loves you and me.
If you haven’t given your life to HIM yet, today is the day. Surrender your life to HIM.
Lets celebrate Christ’s birth knowing who HE is.
Happy Christmas!!!
