Dear Friends,
I bring you good tidings of joy on this Christmas and share what our God requires from you and me as we celebrate the birth of His son and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us ponder upon these following headings, to celebrate this Christmas more meaningfully and fruitfully
“BUT THE ANGEL SAID TO SHEPHERDS, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2.10-11
What is Christmas?
CHRISTMAS IS A GIFT OF GOD FOR MAN. CHRIST DESCENDING INTO THIS PERISHING WORLD AND GAVE A NEW MENING. A NEW DIRECTION AND A NEW LIFE. THE BIRTH OF JESUS AT BETHELEHEM SAVED A PERISHING WORLD.
The Real Christmas
Though we commemorate Jesus’ birth on 25th of December every year, the real Christmas is, that, He must be born in our heart and we become or strive to become like Him. Every day is Christmas when we live in love, peace, unity and do our duties with sincerity and joy. Christmas is not only celebrated once a year but, every day of our life.
Child Jesus is in Manger-Food for the Soul
Usually, in a manger, the food for the cattle is kept. Jesus is born in a manger mean; He is the saving food for all. Christ is the saviour not to all who celebrate Christmas, but only those who accept, believe and surrender their lives to Him.
Works of Christmas- our response.
We may think that Christmas works are over with this celebration. No, now only the works of Christmas begin:
_ TO FIND THE LOST
_TO HEAL THE BROKEN
_TO FEED THE HUNGRY
_TO BRING PEACE AMONG BROTHERS AND SISTER
_TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR IN SPIRIT
I wish you a very happy Christmas and blessed New Year and my sincere prayers for you that this Christmas may enlightened your life, soul and mind that the rest of your life , you not only live victoriously but celebrate the gift of life every day , to glorify His name.
Compliments of the season,
Revd. Sunny S. Kumar (Presbyter Incharge)
