I woke up yesterday morning didnt feel like it was christmas but it was Christmas day. What is Christmas all about?? Christmas for me personally is a challenge. A challenge to really2 take to the heart the true meaning of it not just acknowledging it and celebrate it over and over again year after year after year. The true meaning of Christmas is that Jesus comes to this earth to save us sinners and restore our relationship with God. It is not about holidays, presents, chocolates, santa claus, traditions, christmas trees, food, etc.
As christians, i've been hearing about this message many times not just during Christmas but over and over again on Sunday's sermons, bible study, and easter. The excitement I have over the gospel faded away as the time goes by and I come to feel dry and numb. I am scared that I come to a point where I feel very numb and refuse to listen to the gospel again and it would be the worst thing that happen in my life because it means that i ignored the message of the gospel. Ig noring the gospel would lead me to eternal death and i dont think i want that to happen after tasted God's forgiveness.
Let us encourage one another this Christmas to keep feeling excited about the birth of Jesus and be reminded that Christmas is all about Jesus not presents and santa or any other things. Let us be joyful as well over his birth because through him we find salvation, eternal salvation not just temporary one.
Do you take the message of Christmas to your heart or you're too busy to ponder about it??
What response do you have towards Christmas??
Merry Christmas brothers and sisters in Christ and I wish u had a wonderful and meaningful Christmas.
Love n prayer,
ikan :D:D
