The Grace of Christmas

BIBLE MEDITATION:
1 John 3:1 - “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.”

Christmas Day is the day we celebrate the Birth of our Lord Jesus. The Child Jesus Christ was born to extend God's Grace to us. It is God's Gift to all mankind, that if any should choose to accept this gift of grace that we may be saved through His Redeeming Blood that He shed willingly on the cross. He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. He has gone to prepare a place for us in heaven that we may be with Him.

He said to the disciples, "These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you. I told you that everything written about me in Moses' Teachings, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to come true." Scripture says that the Messiah would suffer and that he would come back to life on the third day. Scripture also says that by the authority of Jesus people must be told to turn to God and change the way they think and act so that their sins will be forgiven. So where ever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do everything that I have commanded you. And remember "that I am always with you until the end of time."

You are rich! Jesus became the Son of Man that we might become sons of God. We are saved because of the grace of Christmas. That is not rhetoric — that is reality! A little boy was talking about eternal security and said, “I am held in His hand.” A cynic responded, “What if you slip through His hands?” “Oh, I forgot to tell you,” the boy replied, “I’m one of His fingers.” You are rich, my friend.

Amidst all the materialism that sometimes chokes out the true meaning of Christmas, take some time to share this Good News with someone today. If you do not believe in the Birth, Life, Death or the Resurrection of Christ, please pray and ask God for Faith, it is a free gift from God too, as all things are made by God, and there is nothing that has been made that He did not make, for his good will, pleasure and glory.

Be sure to celebrate the Grace of Christ, the Birth of the King, The Prince of Peace, Immanuel "Christ with us", May Your Days Be Merry and Bright - Merry Christmas to all!
