Christmas Day

It's Christmas Day and all is quiet. Or maybe it's noisy where you are. What a consumer fest. Or feast. What is it all about? Who came up with this "Christmas" thing, anyway? Why have it? It costs a lot of money.

In order to have a personal relationship with us, His Creation, God came to this planet as one of us. The Almighty God, Creator of all that there is, shed His diety, His glory, His Godliness, like a royal robe, and took on humanity, like an old coat in a second hand store. He was born as a vulnerable baby in a nasty environment to humble parents, one natural, one adopted. He lived with His creation as a man like any other. He claimed to be who He was, God, and so was murdered by those who did not understand. But, He allowed Himself to be murdered. The God of the Universe could have climbed down and zapped all who stood there and jeered. But, hung there until the life from His battered body left. There, on that cross, He paid for all our sins, and we have plenty. He paid for all everywhere and for all time. That's a lot. Then, to prove all He said about His being God, He rose up alive from the dead. No other has done what Christ did. To be with Him we must receive the free gift of Christmas. This is what Christmas is all about. "For God so loved the World that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him will not die forever, but will live forever!" John 3:16.
Open up the free gift from God, today, and start living forever today!

Christmas

AAAhh! Christmas! Jesus the King of the Universe is born of Mary in a very lowly place in a nasty place now known as Isreal. It was probably a warm day. I am sure that neither Mary nor Joseph understood what was happening. Most of the world even now do not understand what what happened when Jesus was born.
God has a plan for the world, of which you are a part of, so therefore God has a wonderful plan for your life. But, the bad stuff you do, sin, keeps you apart from God, and keeps you from realizing His plan. And, without God in your life you can never know the true meaning of Christmas. Now, that little baby, Jesus, is God's only provision for the sin in you life. He is the bridge across that gulf of sin. See John 3, Jesus' conversation with Nicodemous. But, it is not enough to just know this. You must receive Jesus as your savior. You need to accept it as truth, just like you believe the chair you are sitting on is going to hold you up. Or that the earth isn't going to suddenly open up and swallow you. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Then you will truly enjoy Christmas in all its true meaning!
