CHRISTMAS : A TIME TO CELEBRATE CHRIST
His birth was mysterious
He was destined to be great
He was destined to be a deliverer
He was birth by a virgin
He was birth by a poor family
He was born in a manger
Nothing to attract one to him
Wise men from the East visited him with gifts
Herod was destabilised
Many innocent children were killed
He was taken to Egypt on a rescue mission
He came back and everything about him was silent until he was thirty
He began his ministry with power
He healed all form of diseases
His disciples took him for a messiah to rescue them from the Roman empire
His disciples were planning on who to take juicy positions
He became so famous that the governors and rulers of the land desired to see him
They planned to make him king but he rejected it
He stopped many wrong practices in the temple where he worshipped
He never studied under any Rabbi but he was teaching Rabbis
He made serving God simple
He put a barrier between darkness and light
He became the light
Anywhere he turned to there was joy
Devil became angry
He wanted him dead
His disciple betrayed him
Another disciple denied him
He died a shameful death
He died in exchange for a die hard robber
His destiny was cut short
His sun set at midday
The veil of the temple torn into pieces
Unknown to the enemy that his death fulfilled his ministry
In grave, death could not hold him captive
He is the LORD
Devil was defeated
Keys of death and hades was collected from him
He rose again to declare his victory
There were shakings and trembling in the kingdom of darkness
The battle over the souls of men were lost
Christ won the battle
He paid it all with his life
They attempted to cover up his resurrection with false stories
It was too late
He is risen
He ascended in victory
He sent the Holy Spirit
Christmas is here again
They came up with theories why Christmas should not be celebrated
They have forgotten it is all about Christ
In Christmas we celebrate his birth
We reflect whether we are still saved
We tell others about Christ
We give to others in need
Christmas is a season of joy
We sing of his faithfulness
We declare his love
We spread his love till he is known by all
Christmas is for all
Not for Christians
Not for saints
It is for all
It is a time to celebrate Christ
A time to tell the whole world that Jesus is the answer to the World's problem.
Christmas is all about christ
Christmas is a time to worship and celebrate Christ in a special way.
