It's Christmas again, Merry Christmas. I'll just quickly reference last Easter's post on Sharing His Hope - which was an encouragement to share. So what is Christmas?
The best definition of Christmas so far, for me, is from a kid. Here it is: Christmas is a time when we celebrate when baby Jesus was born on earth. Can you beat that?
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Isaiah 9:6 prophecy can finally be celebrated - cause it was fulfilled by the birth/coming of Jesus. Christmas is a perfect reminder of the loving Father heart of God - that lavishing love - which chose to be born in a manger, in form of human flesh, living in our world and giving it all up for us - a people undeserving of His love.
Really, God what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you've visited him. If you often get into this question of Psalm 8:4, then there's a thought: it must be love or at least it must be some sort of love. Yes, God is love, and love shares, so God shared himself. The King: Jesus is born - His birth is a demonstration of love and his coming brought the gift of life (John 3:16, 10:10b).
So while you celebrate, remember who you celebrate, and remember to get a wool for two - share the spoon...and be grateful to God.
Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Merry Christmas to you.
Remain forever blessed.
