Merry Christmas to everyone!
Everybody loves this holiday, but just some people know the reason. Today, I want to talk to you about the reason. And, I'm gonna do link between the commercial Christmas's cast and the real Christmas's cast.
Good Reading!
Everyone likes Santa Claus. Every year the kids around the world make a list, give to Santa Claus, and wait for the gifts! Christmas started with God, who wanted to give away the world with gifts. But, the difference between the Santa and God is: "The Lord always fulfills His promises!"
So, on Christmas, the only good old man with a white beard is God. And we need to give our list of desires for Him because He knows more than us what we need, and He surprises us!
"For nothing is impossible with God". Mary responded: "I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true".
Luke 1. 37-38
Santa Claus can't give presents without his transport. The reindeer is the only to Santa achieve his audience. The only way for God to give the present to us was Jesus! The reason for the real Christmas, Jesus Christ. The Son of God became available the relationship of God with His creatures.
Just because of Jesus, now, we have a lot of gifts from heaven. Jesus is the only way to God give His gifts to us. Let's praise the mighty name of Jesus.
"You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. Ans he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end! (...) The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called Son of God."
Luke 1. 31-33, 35
Now, the best part: "The gifts". Santa Claus gives what we want. But God gives what we need. Because God knows us and He knows that our heart is messy.
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17.9)
Jesus is s gift to the world. But, for me, Jesus was the way to the other gifts. Let's know them now.
1. Salvation
"I have seen your salvation, which you have prepared for all people." (Luke 2. 30-31)
God gave us Jesus to give us salvation. Are you saved? (If you wanna be saved for this powerful God, I have a text about salvation, please check it. The name "The salvation's plan").
2. Wisdom
"Jesus grew up in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people." (Luke 2.52)
3. The Holy Spirit
"And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with the power from heaven." (Luke 24. 49)
4. Love
"Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate." (Luke 6.35-36)
5. Authority
"Don't be afraid! From now on you'll be fishing for people! (Luke 5.10b)
6. Miracles
"(...) the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor." (Luke 7. 22)
7. Teachings
"He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone". (Luke 4.15)
8. Hope
"Everyone tried to touch him, because healing power went out from him, and he healed everyone". (Luke 6.19)
9. Peace
"So don't worry in advance about how to answer the charges against you, for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!" (Luke 21.14-15)
10. Forgiveness
"Young man, your sins are forgiven." (Luke 5.20)
This Christmas, I invite you to celebrate the only reason: God, because He knows us better than us. Jesus, because he became true our relationship with God. The gifts that God gave us, without them we would be lost.
Merry Christmas!
Enjoy your Holiday!
XOXO
