Over the 2 weeks before Christmas, I've been inundated with this question each time I met a friend, "What are you doing this Christmas?"
My answer was simply this, "I'll do what Jesus would have done and that I believe is He will be spending time with His church!" He is the reason. He is the Church!
I am not going to church (the man made building), but I'll be spending time with the church (God's less fortunate children).
On every Christmas Day, I reminded myself to live righteously for the next 365 days because Jesus has been born into me and now dwell in my heart in the Spirit. The gifting of the Holy Spirit lives in me to help me live my earthly life for the honor and glory of the Father. My daily earthly life is a testimony of Jesus true being alive in me. People around me must be able to witness Jesus at work in my daily earthly life.
Christmas is about celebrating the miraculous spiritual birth of Jesus Christ, by God's mercy and grace, into our hearts. It's about God's unfailing love in his plan of salvation through his only begotten son, Jesus. In Christ Jesus, we are born into God's family. And because Christ lives in our hearts today, we will also live with him forever.
Jesus Christ is the Father's most awesome gift to mankind. This is the story of Christmas!
In our hearts is born to us a Saviour. His name is Immanuel. He is Jesus the Christ. Christmas ain't Christmas unless Christ lives in our hearts.
Merry Christmas!
Sharing God, my heavenly Father in Christ Jesus's wisdom that fills my tots daily.....
