Merry Christmas my friends! Today is the best day of the year for me. Christmas is a reminder that there’s hope no matter how bad the situation may look like. God’s love for the human race was made perfect through the Gift of Jesus our Lord.
Christmas was the day when God became flesh.
He sent heaven’s most prized possession to redeem us back from the eternal
hell. For centuries, religion is man reaching out to God but Christmas is God
reaching down to a fallen human race. Christ made a way for us to be reunited
with our Maker in heaven. I just get excited thinking about God’s big idea to
be born as a small human being. It takes a human to understand another. Jesus
gave up His Sonship in heaven and was born to live among us. He name is
Emmanuel: God with us.
Recently, I came across a poem from
the famous Detroit folk poet Edgar Guest. He wrote for the Free Press
for many decades, eventually publishing over 11,000 poems. I think this poem
describe our Lord perfectly for me.
I’d rather see a sermonthan hear one any day;
I’d rather one should walk with me
than merely tell the way.
The eye’s a better pupil
and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing,
but example’s always clear;
And the best of all preachers
are the men who live their creeds,
For to see good put in action
is what everybody needs.
I soon can learn to do it
if you’ll let me see it done;
I can watch your hands in action,
but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lecture you deliver
may be very wise and true,
But I’d rather get my lessons
by observing what you do;
For I might misunderstand you
and the high advice you give,
But there’s no misunderstanding
how you act and how you live.
Christmas is when
God came to live among us. He didn’t just show us the Way to God; He walked
with us. He was fully God and yet a total human being. He understands us.
Friend, if you’re
a little unsure of where your life is right now, know that you’re not alone.
God with us - Emmanuel is right there with you. He is leading the Way for you. He
knows your name and your pain, tears, suffering, struggles and all. Jesus said,
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
For God so loved YOU that He gave His only Son... Christmas is a time of
miracle. If God can orchestrate a supernatural virgin birth, He can handle any
of our impossible situations. He loves you too much to leave you where you are
right now. Better days are right in front of you. You don’t have to be alone
anymore. His grace is made perfect in our weakness. Won’t you give your heart
to Jesus? He’s Emmanuel: God with us. Merry Christmas my friend! You’re prayed
for and celebrated. JOY to the WORLD the Lord has come. I love you!
“So, what do you think? With God on our side like this,
how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us,
embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own
Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?” (Romans 8:32 The Message).
