✨It’s Christmas!✨
What's In it For Me?
It's December 25! Its Christmas to Many! The
day majority of the Christians in the world chose to commemorate the birth of
Jesus (not Biblical). It is a day the Christian faith adherents, happily and
joyously celebrate the gift of the Father's redemption promise, through Jesus'
birth.
The Christians believe that God came in the form
of man in the person of Jesus (Matthew 1:21; 2:1,2) to atone for the sin of
mankind, having disobeyed God and lost the glory of God to the devil in the
Garden of Eden. (Genesis 3). Jesus' mission on earth was achieved through the
shedding of blood, which was the costly price for sin and the only solution to
saving man from sin into the Loving Arms of a Loving God.
Today we are no longer under the condemnation
of the guilt of sin (Romans 8:1) because we have the Saving Grace from God for
Salvation, for eternal life. However, our hearts and minds tries to make us
feel we don't deserve God because we have sinned, 1 John 3:20 "For if our
heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things."
God is greater than our hearts and can make everything right for us.
But the question is: the sin that was atoned
for, and washed away by the blood of Jesus, is the world and its dwellers yet
in sin and even graduating higher in sin today?
The answer is YES! There is still sin in the
world, there are atrocities, evil deeds, unkindness, unforgiveness,
unfaithfulness to God, unfaithfulness to a spouse, killings, rape, stealing,
kidnapping, fighting, hatred, idolatry, homosexuality, and apostasy. The world is
rather stricken with sin and all sorts of perversion and ungodliness.
There are people who do not know the 'Reason
for the Season', there are people who do not know the essence of Jesus in this
celebration, there are people who are ignorantly in sin, there are souls
seeking not a physical gift but spiritual gift of the everlasting gospel
message to give them Hope for eternity, strengthening their minds that all hope
is not lost.
We must remind people in words and action of
the reason for the season. We must let Jesus know that in remembering His birth
its about advocating His love for mankind, His request and plea for hearts to
be restored and returned to the Father's love. That the defeat He gave Satan on
the cross of Calvary (Luke 23:33-46) is continuously sustained by the ways and
means of His chosen ones on earth (1Peter 2:9). That in the phase of toxic
economy and desperate moments, the devil won't cease the opportunity to allure
men and women desperate for livelihood to gain authority in their hearts. But
the sons of men and daughters of God will be busy reaching out with the message
of Hope and Love of God.
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the
praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" 1
Peter 2:9 (NKJV)
This is what's in it for us Christians, Jesus
Must Be the Reason for the Season, known and reminded in the hearts of Men.
Projecting and Proclaiming the kingdom's Hope of eternity in the decaying
world, in a crying world, in a longing world.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the
age." Amen. Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV)
For this mission, we are assured of His
absolute authority, His Blessings, His guidance, His Providence. He shall
empower us in all ramifications, His Spirit shall not depart from us in Jesus
name.
COMPLEMENTS OF THE SEASON!!!
