Advent Season

For Christians, the end of another year heralds the Good News of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is not the 365 days of the year that bring meaning to our lives but those that fill us with heavenly wisdom. Holy Christmas signifies the day when the wisdom of heaven was revealed to mankind through the birth of the Heavenly Prince.
With Christ’s birth, heaven and earth embraced the message “Glory to the highest O God, peace on earth, goodwill to men.”
The world is now more than ever in need of peace and goodwill however these values first and foremost need to be embraced by mankind. Jesus was born to establish this message unto the world.

In the small and unassuming city of Bethlehem, he drew both shepherds and wise men, and today continues to draw people from all walks of life, opening the gates of the kingdom to all and teaching the path of righteousness.
To best understand the Christian story about Jesus who died on the cross of Calvary, it is good to look in on an unpretentious detached room in Bethlehem over thirty years before. It was here that Jesus was born. It was here that God came to humanity in the most extraordinary way. He became one of us! This is the Christmas story.

There are various stories that are told of the prince and the pauper, where one exchanges places with the other for a while. But this is different. Real different. God chooses to become a man, really and truly human. He understands what it means to grow, to learn, to laugh and to cry. Our Creator made a choice to become one with His creation. And He went all the way – to death.
And that death was for us. We humans had gotten ourselves into such a serious mess called sin, : anger, misunderstandings, jealousy, hatred, lovers of ourselves, money, I-me-mine.
The only outcome possible was eternal annihilation, unless… unless God did something that only He could do. If we were to be saved, God would have to become one of us, get it right and then, taking our sins on Him, died for us. Those who believe in Jesus and walk in and with Him are assured of eternal life!

This is the story of a Creator God who loves His creation – loves us… loves you… loves me. It is the story of belonging and hope. That is why Christmas is a time of joy!
At this very traditional special time of year, I pass on greetings of love and blessings to all, with the hope that heavenly wisdom and revelation will fill our lives and lead our actions.
"Christ is born and revealed. Blessed is the revelation of Christ."
