"He
was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He
formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word,
without whom all human eloquence is mute.” - Augustine
It's another December, twenty fifth. Another Christmas day. But like
Benjamin Franklin said, “How many observe Christ’s birthday! How few,
His precepts!” It's true that millions around the world celebrate today,
many for the wrong reasons. How many really know and acknowledge the
fact that He came to a world filled with pain, with a permanent cure. Or
that He came to a world dark from the bondage of sin with His
indescribable light to dispel forever the powers of darkness. He came to
a world, and a people he made with a message of liberation.
Christmas would be meaningless to anyone without a proper understanding and realization of the essence of the season. Or, the reason. Christ came, died and rose again to fulfill for mankind all that was written of Him: for you and my sake. If you do not obey His principles and precepts, or accept His love and request to be your Lord and saviour, you make the purpose of His coming, in your life, null and void. Accept God's gift of His son, Jesus Christ, for the redemption of your soul. He's calling you today. Will you accept Him?
Merry Christmas, it's all about Jesus!
