WHAT IS CHRISTMAS WITHOUT JESUS?

{ Ref. Luke chp 1:26-35; chp 2:1-20 }
by Jon Sosito

Life shall not be exceedingly abundantly without Christ... HE WAS BORN TO DIE...

to die for me and for you...

people are dying around us... just one month ago a 6 year old boy died with cancer and three days ago the father of our member died... may be the question is WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT CHRIST?... Could this be the matter of our living?...

Many of us shall be BUSY buying GIFTS... and have set aside the true meaning why HE was born... greeting each one with "Happy Holidays"??... and I think it is unchristian to greet someone like that... what happen to "Merry Christ-birth" greetings? and putting an "X" mark instead of Christmas, Christ became unknown in "xmas"...

I heard there will be a Christmas "Party"... then I laughed... party? OK, that's it! Let's go! Kill-Joy daw kasi ang mga Kristiano, dahil walang party, puro Word of God daw kasi at singing Carol songs then fellowship tapos uwian...teka may kainan muna pala bago uwian...hahaha... parang Cinderella, kailan bago mag-12-midnight ay makauwi na... hahaha...

How do we really remember the birth of Christ? ... Well I cannot talk about His birth without mentioning His death... Because it is the purpose of His first coming... whereas is most celebrated and awaited... But if we talk about His second coming, many may be resentful... kasi marami pang mga pangarap sa buhay na gustong makamit at bata pa daw sila :D ...in a twinkling of an eye... in a moment... at the last trump...

It is to remind us that if He fulfilled His earthly birth... He will fulfill also as it was said "I come, quickly"....

It's a hard life...seem to be a long hard fight... but when you're in Love with Christ... you'll wait for your Love... and Christ did it for LOVE... even this world is filled with sorrow... we must always live for Him AS we also did it for LOVE... He came for LOVE... and that LOVE IS EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANT for all of us!!!
