Christmas


Christmas has just came and gone. It was such a hectic time. But it has been good to catch up with people during all the parties and dinners.

On Sunday as we were singing carols about Jesus. The reason for this season. Carols like "Away in the manger" "Silent Night" "God rest ye merry Gentlemen". We were not singing about Jesus in His greatness and majesty. Though He is all that. But I am reminded that Jesus, my king and my Lord came not as a King or someone powerful but he came as a baby. Could you imagine a baby. Helpless and can't even stand on his own. Yet Jesus trusted Himself with Mary and Joseph, mere humans to take care of Him. God chose the most unexpected way to come. (Sometimes God can use the most unexpected things or person to talk to us, to guide us but we miss it cause we are waiting for something more. We overlook it cause it is unexpected.) The savior of the world, Jesus, humbled himself, The Son of God, to be like us, came as a babe just for you and I. Such faith Jesus had in the Heavenly Father and such faith they had in the people that they counted on to take care of Jesus. Yet it is because He chose to come in this manner that He can identify with us. That we can identify with Him. He has also been through the growing pains. The storms that we face in life. He understands. My Great King and Lord humbled Himself, came as a helpless babe, went through his journey in life here on earth so that we can have life and life most abundant. It is because of this that I am a Christian today. That people all around the world have hope. The message of Christmas.

Christmas is the season
When we remember the real reason
It's not just a celebration
But Jesus the center of our religion

Christmas is the season
That reminds us Christianity is not just a religion
Jesus came for a reason
To us the greatest gift of love was given

It is for us that He came
Restored us to the Father
took away our shame
Bringing God's kingdom in His name
