Beloved Brethren,
Greetings of Peace and Love of Jesus Christ to everyone. I greet you with 3rd John 1:2.
It is that time of the year again - December.
We celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
What is Christmas?
It is the period when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ as foretold through Isaiah the Prophet, announced by Angel Gabriel, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and proclaimed by John the Baptist.
Isaiah 9:6
Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace
Isaiah 7:14
Immanuel / Emmanuel (God is with us)
Matthew 1: 20 - 23
Jesus (Savior. He will save us from our sins)
Jesus Christ (Anointed Savior - Isaiah 61:1 and Luke 4:18)
Luke 1:35
Son of God
There is absolutely no mention of Santa Claus anywhere in the Bible.
Who is Santa Claus? Honestly, you do not need to know who he/she is.
Who is Father Christmas? Honestly, you do not need to know who he/she is.
What is Happy Holidays? Well, some people prefer to say Happy Holidays rather than Merry Christmas. But, of what use? The main reason for this season is Jesus Christ.
So, what do we need to do?
Call on Jesus Christ always.
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13, Acts 4: 10 - 12, Philippians 2: 9 - 11, Proverbs 18:10)
All Christmas songs should be about Jesus Christ only, and no one else.
Share your bread with the poor.
As you exchange gifts with your family, friends, and loved ones; please remember the poor. (Proverbs 19:17). As you give to the poor, you are giving to Jesus Christ. You are giving to God.
Love one another.
Jesus Christ came down from heaven to suffer and die for us. He came to set us free from sin and death. He rose from the dead in order to give us a new life in Him. Ultimately, he gave us two greatest commandments - Love of God and Love of Neighbor. (John 3:16, Matthew 22: 37 - 40, John 13:34, Galatians 5:14, Ephesians 5:2, John 15:12, and John 15:17 among others).
Let us pray
Our Father in heaven; the Ancient of Days (of Daniel 7:9), the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel (of 1 Kings 18:36), the God who is, who was, and who is to come (of Revelation 1:8); we thank You for the love you bestowed on us through your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for life. We thank You for all the good things You did for us. We thank You for all the good things You do for us. We thank You for all the good things You will do for us. All praise and glory to You forever and ever. Amen.
Heavenly Father, please forgive our sins and wrongful acts. In any way we have sinned against you or against our fellow men, please have mercy.
Almighty God, please be with us. Abide in us. Heal us. Heal our land. Bless our efforts with success. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ; direct us to love one another. We acknowledge and proclaim Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and no one else. Grant that we always live in Thy presence. Protect us, O Lord God for in Thee we place all our trust. Preserve our spirits. Preserve our souls. Preserve our lives. Deliver us from all evil. We pray in faith through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Your Son; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit; One God forever and ever. Amen.
God bless you.
For Christ Jesus,
