Thoughts Of The Month

Today is Christmas day- what does it mean to me? We had a celebration of food and giving of presents at the office yesterday. It is supposed to be the Christmas spirit of giving. Yet to me, I am sure that Christmas is am receiving a gift that we cannot repay.

It is not about celebrating Santa Claus is coming to town to give the good kids what they deserved for their good behaviour. It is about the gift of Jesus Christ. The babe that was borned by a virgin and it is special. All humans are borned because the sperm from their father's body get into one of the eggs in the mother's body and it became them. Jesus was borned different, he cannot be like us as the all man are borned sinners, because the first man (Adam) committed the sin of disobedience at Eden. Adam represented all man after him and so all sinned. Just as it is said, the results of sins is death, today we still see death in all man so in other words man still continue to sin.

Jesus came not in the same way as all man so as to become the second Adam to represent man again but this time with total obedience to God. His birth is to be remembered !

Furthermore, Jesus came to die for man to pay for all our sins so that God will not punish those who accept his way of paying for our sins. Failure to accept this is frightening, it means we reject the purpose of Christ and there is no excuse. Jesus shown us that beside living a perfect life and died, he rose again. That shows that what he said was true, no one can come back from the dead and even predicted it before his death.

Dare you forsake such a opportunity to remember Christ for all that he did for you.
Today is the day to receive this way and believe. Then can I say " Have a blessed Christmas"
