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."
It's another Christmas season, a season of joy, good tiding and celebration. My prayer is, this season shall not leave you in the same level, in Jesus name.
Christmas season is a celebration that means different things to different people. Some consider the season a time for decorations and fashion. To some others, they see it as a season to party, visit and be visited and a time to have fun. Some only see Christmas season as a time to organize carol with nine lessons and to some it is a period to travel to see loved ones that probably they have not seen for a long time.
But I want to say Christmas celebration is a celebration of love. We are not just celebrating the birth of Jesus but we are celebrating the love of the Father. The Bible says: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son..."
Jesus is the most precious gift the world has ever had. He is a gift that emanated from the love of the Father. Therefore, this is the season to show love to one another. 1John 4:7 says: "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God." One of the cardinal proofs of love is given. God so love and He gave.
Therefore, it is time to share the love of God to the dying world by sharing the gospel that will save them. It is time to share what we have with the hungry, less privileged and the needy around us to show the Father's love. This is the reason for Christmas.
PRAYER: May tears of the hurting around you be wiped away through you this season in Jesus name.
Jesus is the reason for the season!
