THE FESTIVAL BEHIND CHRISTMAS

Christmas is the most joyful and widely celebrated festival in the Christendom. Christ birth has been one significant event among Christians bringing us together to worship the newborn child Christ Jesus.

As we celebrate together, one thing we should consider most is that Christ resurrection death is more indispensable to mankind hope than his birth. Christmas is a times all children even adult had wish that it comes all the time, it funny to say that people who have not darkened the doors of a Church for a year find their way to the Church to enjoy the amazing mystery of the Christmas Eve Service.
Growing up with dad and mum was fun, food are cooked and taken to neighbor around, new cloths are bought for us, people visit the orphanages homes with gifts, some even went as far as reconciling with those they have wronged, you could just see the smiles on the faces of people more ready to give and forgive each other and even fighting nations cease-fire for that day, I just wish that all day could be Christmas. You could see and feel it from the environment, even nature is also responding to the season of Christmas.

The Reason for Christmas

The reason of the celebration of Christmas is Jesus Christ. The birth of Christ brought life and hope to mankind, but is death cannot be compare to his birth, Christ death is more to our world.
Without the death of Christ, without the shedding of blood, Christ blood and not the blood of sheep as it's done in the days of old, they would be salvation and the purpose of Christ birth would be in vain, the redemption of man from sin play an important in our Christian faith John 3 verse 16 will be in vain. Ephesians 2 verse 1 to 8 by nature we have all sin, but thank God for salvation.

Salvation means forgiveness, healing, deliverance, peace and protection. Salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit and not of man. Salvation is planned by the father, purchased by the son, worked by the Holy Spirit. The bible said we are bought with a price, what this means is that the very body we are carrying today, is own by Christ. As we celebrate Christmas we should always know is because of the God love for mankind made him send his son to die for our sinful place.
The first Adam has failed, and man is separated from God, but Christ came to bring us back to God, we are no longer separated from him, right now we are in his fullness of time.

Enjoy your Christmas put a smile on somebody face out there on the street for that is reason of Christmas and Christ death.
