CELEBRATING THE TRUE CHRISTMAS

       

        
What do you think would happen if you dashed into at the birthday party of a very affluent and influential fellow uninvited? Or would you go to any party without knowing the reason for the party?
Would you celebrate with your neighbour without asking why? The answer to these questions is NO!
But so many of us celebrate Christmas without knowing why. We dash into Christmas without accepting the invitation.
Do you know where the term Christmas was derived from? CHRISTMAS- CHRIST’S MASS- CELEBRATION OF CHRIST JESUS.
So when you celebrate Christmas, you celebrate Jesus. But how do you celebrate the one who you do not know?
Many people often jump happily at the mention of Christmas. They are glad they saw the end of the year and are able to join others celebrate the season.
But celebrating the true Christmas is to know Jesus who is the reason for the season!
DO YOU KNOW JESUS? DO YOU HAVE HIM IN YOUR LIFE? DO YOU LIVE FOR JESUS?
Do not make this Christmas as the previous ones, celebrate the true Christmas by knowing who you are celebrating, you need to have a knowledge of Jesus, you need him in your life daily. You need to follow him.

WHO IS JESUS?
Jesus is Christ the only begotten son of the living God sent to mankind to deliver us from eternal death and to give us abundant life (John 3:16-18). He is the mediator (Heb 12:24), the one whose name is above all other names even in heaven and on earth (Phil 2:9). Jesus was born of a virgin and crucified to reconcile mankind to God. He is part of the God head- the trinity.
Some people spend all their savings from January to December just to celebrate who they know nothing about, to satisfy their selfish desires and even commit more atrocities, forgetting that it was just only by God’s grace, we are still alive.
Some give God one small fowl and a crate of eggs as thanksgiving while they spend thousands in bars drinking, beaches, eating and catching worldly pleasures.
When would you know Jesus? Is it now that you are still alive or when you die? It is a choice.
Jesus loves you, He is waiting for you to know him better every day (Rev 3:20), to serve and worship Him.
If you are already a Christian, have you had an encounter with Christ? Is your life worthy of emulation? Are your ways Christ-like?

KNOWING JESUS
How can you worship whom you do not know? It is not by mere calling on Jesus’ name daily that makes you to know him but having the true knowledge of Jesus is only through a thorough regular study of God’s word. This is the only true insight to his Person.
Building a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus is having Jesus in the boat of your life. Letting Jesus take the wheel of your life and acknowledging Him in all you do. Proverbs 3:6.Think about your entire life for a moment and answer this question.
Am i willing to celebrate Jesus this Christmas?
The true Christmas is one in which you help the fatherless, the widows, show impartial love to everyone and preach the gospel. Jesus never had time to organise feasts, though he graced them but he had more time to feed his sheep and to attend to the needy. Hebrews 13:16- this is what true Christmas is. Attending to the needs of the less-privileged around you, loving without looking for a gain or favour.
James: 1:27: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one’s self unspotted from the world.

Please say this prayer with your mouth:
Lord Jesus, I thank you for the grace to read this tract, I thank you for dying for me, I thank you for loving me. Lord Jesus come into my life and be my Lord and saviour, help me to know you better every day, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Make a decision today to know Jesus more deeply on a daily basis, tell him you are willing to celebrate the true Christmas this year.

God bless you.

Fulfilling Christmas?

T oday is December 25 th , the long-awaited Christmas day. A day where everyone rejoices and celebrate in unison. There had not been any day like this where the whole world, whether Greek or Jew, white or black, Muslim or Christian, celebrate in unity. Indeed, this must be a special day. The world as we know enjoy celebration even in the midst of suffering, greed, poverty, lack and high political and economic tension. On a day like this virtually everyone pretends all is well just to have a full grasp of the day. Yes. All is well but is all really well? On a day like this, I spend more time resonating about the 358days which has gone by. I realised that I have lost many friends, made new friends, attended funerals, attended naming ceremonies. I have seen terrible accidents and I have even been involved in some. But yet I am standing. Oh, I didn’t die? Yea. But why didn’t I die? Am I better than those who died or lost one part of their body? The answer is No! Life is all abo...
