KEY SCRIPTURE:Col 2:16 KJV” Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:”

​

The first man, Adam, led the human race into gross darkness. There was absolutely no hope, for death had taken its toll on all humanity, yet in the fullness of time, light came. Isa 9:2 KJV” The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shone.” This verse was the state and condition of all humanity. Should the light that brought salvation not be celebrated? I think this light that brought a solution to our clueless state ought to be celebrated.

​

Christmas speaks of how the solution to man’s desperate condition was initiated through the invasion by the monarch of the universe into the world of humanity. Joh 1:14 KJV” And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” He came into our world and demonstrated how men could live in close fellowship with God  , and also how men could live in dominion over Satan and his devils. The Lord Jesus, as a Son of man, was a true representation of every man, revealing how man should live in dominion in this world. Sadly, religious people have made this great reality highly unattainable, such that living as free as Jesus is described as sensual.

​

Just listen to Jesus very well. He said in  Joh 14:12 KJV “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” Did the Lord mean what he said? He brought all these to us because he came into this world. Christmas is celebrated as His entry into our world.

​

His death and resurrection were the final straw  that broke the camel’s back. We have now been brought into fellowship with Him. We are one with Him through His death. All these became possible because He came into this world, and that is Christmas,celebrating God’s answer to man’s questions.

​

To all celebrants of Christmas  ,  you ought to ask yourself the following  questions.

1 Have I been made free from sin?

2. Have I experienced the power of good health

3 Am I free from the controls of Satan and his devils?

​

If your answer is no, then you have to turn to the gospel and receive the solution of the gospel.

THOUGHT: DON’T JUST CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, TRULY BENEFIT FROM CHRISTMAS
