God's Love (For Christmas)
First of all let me start by saying MERRY CHRISTMAS, may we live long to experience many more in wealth and good health. AMEN.
Christmas as we know is a celebration of Christ's birth, and Christ I believe as we know is an expression of the love of God towards man. Now, lets discuss a little on the above stated statement.
God sits on His throne in Heaven, and as recorded in the Bible, all occupants of Heaven (Angels, 24 elders and so on) are constantly worshiping God and the way I see it, humanly speaking one would definitely be able to talk as friends do to people who constantly bow before, so it seems Jesus was the only 'partner' of God in Heaven, He was the only one God could sit down and discuss with. So it was like sending Jesus to the earth meant keeping God in a state of 'boredom' for some 33 years.
And he didn't do this for His earthly friends, but for His enemies; people who hate him and would intentionally do what He hates -Us.
Now imagine the love God showed, how many people would choose to stay bored for 33 years so as to make your enemies happy? Humanly speaking its just impossible but that was just what God did for yourself and myself.
Now, I hope we won't let those years God chose to remain 'bored' for our sake be a waste. Lets enjoy and have a Merry Christmas, but please let us never forget the main reason behind our celebration.
The best way we can celebrate Christmas according to 1 John 4:7-8. which tells us that whoever does not love doesn't know God, so its like the ONLY proof to show that we know God is when we love others. Christmas should be a time of sharing, and giving - not necessarily material things, but even our time can go a long way in saving some lives.
So as we go from here, I'd want us to walk in the spirit of God's love, and I want us to know that God is not wicked that He'd forget our labour of love.
GOD BLESS.
