CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
As we enter this Christmas season many people are very busy
going to and fro trying to find that perfect gift for a family member
or dear friend and many are spending Hugh sums of money for them. only to bein debt for months afterwards and so much stress .
As I sit and reflect on what Christmas really means to me and my family
I think back to when I was a child and we did not have all the technology things we have today and toys etc. but we had a wonderful time . Children were laughing and playing in the snow and looking forward to Christmas morning when they could open their gifts . I remember that we did not get a lot of gifts but what we got we loved and we did not get bored. Perhaps a girl got a favourite dolly to play with , a boy a fire-engine or Some building blocks and of course there was the stockings hung by the fire place filled to overflowing with such things as an orange or apple at the bottom , toothbrush, things for ones hair little things and candy, book to read on those winter cold nights.
Then followed the wonderful aroma of turkey cooking in the oven and the family get together , the reading of the Christmas story out of the Bible and singing of carols. Everyone was happy and had a great time
Today it is so commercialized everyone is forgetting what the real reason is for Christmas and I want to remind you of that reason in this letter to you all
For me and my family Christmas is about Jesus and not just His birth but His death, burial, & His resurrection and we celebrate this every day of our lives not just on Christmas day for Jesus came to save us from our sins that is why He was born , and we need to get back to the reason for His birth that it was not for all the gifts we can getthe money spent to do this but to recognize that without Jesus we would be lost in sin with no hope for the future. People please remember why you are celebrating Christmas this year and put Jesus back into the larger picture.
SCRIPTURE
Mt 2:1 (KJV) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Matthew 2:1-3
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew 2:4-11 (KJV)
Folks this Christmas lets take time to sit down with our families and re re-read the Christmas story from the Bible and teach our children what the real meaning of Christmas is. Lets help them to realize that the little baby born in a mangercame to be our Saviour and that His name is Jesus . Emmanuel, God with us. and that we need to celebrate this every dayof our lives not just at this time of the year.
