Life is good, and we are bestowed with numerous mercies by Him. But, the people don't get time to thank God. Especially during the season, busyness about cooking, decorating, shopping makes one tired.
God's plan for humanity. It, is a crucial moment in the history that; God in the form of human came and dwelled among us. The way God signaled this act was through; a star, 3 wise men and shepherds that a Saviour, will deliver the people from sins. All this was kept secret except for few shepherds.
The actual date, and the month of
Jesus birth, is not recorded in the bible. Every other stories and happenings
are recorded in the Bible even a widow who gave a penny is recorded but; how
come this great event was not written. What is important is that Jesus was
born, and people need to accept this truth.
Different prophets in old testament
told about the birth of a Saviour. In the bible, we come to know the truth that
if, Christ would not be born and raised from the dead then; we would not attain
salvation, in the same way His resurrection, was a pathway to heaven for the
human.
We can see in Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son and call his name "Immanuel."
Another prophet Micah in 5:2 has written "But thou, Beth-lehem, Ephratah though thou be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings
forth have been from of old, from everlasting".
Christmas is the story of God's love, which came down for us. A love that showed peace, A love that was willing to sacrifice His life, A love that wanted to save the dying world from sin. The love of God the Father who gave His beloved son Jesus to die on the cross and, to save the mankind. Here is 'Jesus,' the King, who made a bridge between God and the people.
The importance of Jesus born is shown
in the life of each individual, Jesus being born inside us by having His
characters in our life. By loving others
, by sharing, by encouraging others. Today we celebrate the truth that God is
with us the meaning of Immanuel. He loves you and me and, has not forgotten us.
This is the greatest love the world has ever or will ever know. This is the
true message of Christmas which Lord wants us to have in our hearts.
Friends, Hope this blog will throw, some light on True Christmas. The important message to be spread is to have Jesus in us. A place in our heart with His characters which will be
filled with hope, joy and peace once He is inside. Please do share, and comment your views. God bless you.
Thanks
