It's been a while since the last blog entry and any moment by now it's CHRISTmas!
My great reverence to the birth of Jesus Christ is deep for our God sent his only son, Jesus, not to live but to die for our sins. First thing to know that we must know the essence and true meaning of Christmas - the Birth of Jesus Christ! Here are some concepts that the first Christmas is not as the Christmas celebration you know these days.
For Jesus did not really welcomed in this world.
At Chapter 2, King Herod and others who are powerful are so worried that King of the Jews was born. Herod even deceived the wise men to find him so that "he may worship Him" (Matt. 2:8) but the really intention is to kill this child. I saw even today that there are "HEROD ATTITUDE", we are killing the celebration by not focusing the real CHRISTmas - GIFTS, FOODS, SANTA CLAUS, PARTY or even Mary.
Luke 2:7b "...laid him on a bed of hay, because there was no room for them in the inn". Jesus Christ is born in a stable, well I don't know if it's stinky, dirty or there's noisy animals but still at the time of His birth He is not welcomed. Joseph, the earthly father, almost call off Mary because of birth of Jesus.
For Jesus is not destined to live but to die
To die because of our sins. The lamb who was slain is worthy to be praised. Rather for man to die, God made a way to save us because He loves us. His love is incomparable that I feel I don't deserve it but I believe in it's power.
GOOD NEWS is....
As you could see at Matt. 1:23, "He will be called, Immanuel, which means, "God with us.". In his name there's already love and compassion that God is really with us! My heart is really thankful of Jesus' Birth to this world.
The good news is He died but lived again! The death did not end the power of God. Showing the promise of eternal life who believe in His name. " For God so loved the world that He gave is only Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16.
