MERRY CHRISTMAS

Rejoice with heart and soul and with voices.  Give heed to this post Christ Jesus is born, born of a virgin, born without the seed of a man.

We celebrate Jesus on this day knowing a king was born to die that humanity might live again, and come to the knowledge of God with us and God in us.

Jesus' birth ushered in seasons of endless blessings  and joy. His birth brought God among mortal and feeble men. The heralding angels exclaimed "Peace on earth and good will to men". Jesus' birth brought another peace different from what's readily obtained on the earth.

The substitution reaction was kicked off by the birth of this Saviour. He was born in lowly manger so we can occupy lofty mansions. He was born to carry out a transaction for our purchase from the kingdom of darkness. He was born as the highest expression of love.

David Cameron is noted to have said: " Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us - a time when we can look back on the year that has passed and prepare for the year ahead".

Please in the midst to of drinking, eating, feasting and sharing, reflect soberly on your life and relationship with the master. Don't just celebrate Christmas today and tomorrow alone, let the rest of the days of this year and the days of the new year be lived out as a Christmas day. Honour Christmas in your heart, and try to keep it all the year.

Jesus is God's perfect, indescribable gift. I pray that the perfect and indescribable gift of God the Father would find expression in our lives today and beyond in Jesus name.

Merry Christmas.
