Heb.2:9 ‘But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone….’
After we had our meals at the food court in our family weekly reunion at the Paragon Mall, Penang, this weekend; we heard some beautiful choir singing from afar…
As we drew nearer, we heard this big Church Group gathering at the heart of this Supermarket, telling the jam-packed shoppers about this Man they called JESUS….
How, when He was born of a Virgin on this silent night… a star was shinning bright…and the Angels were heard on high, singing over the hills and plains…
Shepherds who tended their flocks by night came and wise men celebrated and brought gifts at His feet…
HE IS THE SON OF GOD….
THIS WAS THE FIRST CHRISTMAS…
CHRIST THE SAVIOR WAS BORN…
How He would bring joy to the world that this SAVIOR reigns; who would give hope to this suffering world…and they would receive this resounding joy…
THAT THOSE WHO ARE SEARCHING WILL SEARCH NO MORE…THE MESSIAH HAS COME…that thru His sacrifice that WE may live forever more…
They challenged the shoppers to ‘Come and let us worship and adore Him, Christ the Lord….’
WHO ARE THEY SINGING AND PRAISING ABOUT???
There was no mention about that happy fat man called Santa or his Red Nose Reindeer who went about giving gifts whom the world glorifies this season…
THIS CHURCH GROUP WAS CELEBRATING JESUS, THE SON OF GOD….THE REASON FOR THIS SEASON AND THEY (NON-BELIEVERS) WERE ALL CAUGHT UP IN THE REJOICING….
WHAT AN AMBIENCE AND OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY AND TO WITNESS TO THE WORLD!!
THE WORLD HAS HIGHJACKED THIS SPECIAL OCCASSION FOR ITS PURPOSES AND COMMERCIAL VALUES BUT THE FACT IS THAT THE SAVIOR WAS BORN…
THEY HAVE NO RECORDS OF THE REAL DAY HE WAS BORN BUT WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY WHILE THE WORLD HONORS AND CELEBRATES HIS BIRTH!!
JESUS NEVER ASKED US TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY OTHER THAN BAPTISM AND COMMUNION; BUT THE WORLD WANTS TO HONOR HIM FOR WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR HUMANITY!!
I NEVER ASK MY CHILDREN TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY; BUT THEY LOVE ME AND HONOR ME TO REMEMBER ME EVEN WHEN I AM STILL WITH THEM…PTL!!
IT IS SO COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST IS BEGINNING TO TAKE BACK THEIR RIGHTS TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF THEIR SAVIOR WHILE THE WORLD TRIES TO NEUTRALIZE THIS SPECIAL OCCASION THAT BELONGS TO CHRISTIANS…
NOBODY SHOULD DEPRIVE THE PEOPLE OF GOD FROM GLORIFYING THEIR SAVIOR,
WHEN OR HOW;
THOUGH WE SHOULD CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH DAILY!!
AMEN!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!
