By Paul Edozie:
The Reason
It’s another yuletide season… It’s another season of reflection of the year past and the essence of the sacrifice on the cross of calvary.
Of course it’s a season to make merry at the birth of the one who was begotten of the father… The only begotten of the father… Who was sent to earth in the form of a human to die for the sins of humanity that never even acknowledged Him… Even in His home. Humanity that never respected or acknowledged His kingship but could nail Him on the cross (though with a crown… Of thorns)
Despite the clear message “this is my beloved son… In whom I am well pleased, listen to Him”. The world we live in still doesn't know or acknowledge Him. Despite all the miracles, signs and wonders… The world seems to find it easy to forget these.
One thing is for certain, “His divine power has given us everything we
need for life and Godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness”
Do not get caught up in the euphoria of this busy world where everything is so full of too much noise you cannot even hear yourself think. Do not forget the purpose of your existence or the essence of destiny. You were sent to earth to fulfill destiny and discover purpose so as impact lives through these. Jesus Christ knew His purpose and destiny on earth and also fulfilled them all to the latter.
The reason for this season of Christmas is the essence of our redemption from eternal damnation and destruction. Christ came to earth and we celebrate Him this day…
The noisy environment around us helps Us forget this fact by taking the “Christ” out of Christmas for the sake of shortcuts “Xmas” and “Happy holidays” to get bang for the buck in adverts… just so we get carried away. For the sake of Christ and the movement of the gospel… Christ should be celebrated not as a culture or a religion but as a hero, THE KING OF KINGS… A king and one who sacrificed everything in heaven to save us even though we have betrayed and denied Him several times.
It is not too late to retrace your steps and turn to Him.
God has shown us so much compassion through His son… It is high time we acknowledged His kingship and celebrate His majesty and glory.
God bless you as you celebrate Him
MERRY CHRISTMAS… JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.
