Who know that it would take me 7 months to blog again? and lets hope it won't end here.
Merry Christmas! How is your Christmas today? It was hailing and thunder storming here in Melbourne, but I still have my good Christmas here. :)
Christmas. What is Christmas? I have been pondered about the meaning of Christmas, what is it? But before I continue, I just want to say, this is my faith, the conviction that I got, and I don’t want or has any intention to offend anyone.
So let's start, Christmas for some people is about gifts, for others is about party and fellowship, others is Santa Clause and all this ‘magic’, and for others it means nothing, I dont say that is all wrong. I am not in place to judge after all. People have their own beliefs and either do I and tonight I just want to share a lil bit of my belief about Christmas.
You know, there are two months that I love in a year, they are October and December. It's October because well, maybe because I was born in October and I just love how it start with letter "O". lolThe second one is December, I love December, who doesn’t? well maybe some. Anyway, December for me is the month where you feel peace and joy and just the warm feeling that you get especially around Christmas. Ever ask why? In my opinion, I have been thinking this over and over and this is the conviction that I got.
It is peaceful and joyful because deep down inside our heart, our spirit know that there is someone that come to save us, save us from a purposeless life, safe us from eternal punishment, save us and set us free from bondage and save us so that we can be with Him and He is Jesus. I mean what can be more peaceful and joyful to know we are been saved! He show His love from the beginning till the end and It will never leave us.
and today's sermon just touched me, using an illustration of Christmas Sandwich.
John 1:11-13
Christmas is about Son of God came down to earth to save men. That's the first layer of sandwich.
and the second one which make all things different is our response, whether we receive Him and believe in Him or we reject Him. This two response will give us two different outcome, which is the third layer, that if we receive Him, we become the Sons of God!
Amazing isn't it?Not only that He saves us, but He adopted us to become His children and that we can call Him : Father. <3
That blessing of salvation is the best blessing and gift that I have ever received! Thank You Jesus, Thank You for everything.
Happy Birthday My Lord Jesus and Merry Christmas to you all.
May the spirit of Christmas, the love, joy and peace be with you all!.
oOo, Cia...
