The Christmas, even if it’s an old pagan Celebration, today should be entirely about the gift of JESUS CHRIST, our LORD, and SAVIOUR, which came about as a covenant of God, that ALL human beings might have the opportunity for eternal life, by accepting HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, as our LORD, and SAVIOUR, and, by repentance, in which one is expected to pick up the yoke of the Law of God, and live in as much righteousness as is humanly feasible. In other words, we are expected to live as children of the MOST HIGH God, and take up HIS teachings to pattern our lives after...
How many of us REALLY attempt to live in the WORD, the Law of God ? In my studies, in my reading, in my research, this question keeps coming to mind, as, honestly, how many of us REALLY do, or even attempt to live as HE would have us live? We cannot merely become reborn without the action of rebirth taking place, which means, we have to walk the talk, we have to consider our every thought, and action, that we ARE aligned to HIS WAYS. It is difficult for mankind to come into the line of righteousness, that is for sure, but, we CAN do so, if we diligently prevail. HE does not expect us to be miraculous in our attempts, but, HE does expect us to walk as righteously as we are capable of, for HE so LOVES us, that HIS gift to the world, was HIMSELF, in the LORD, JESUS CHRIST, who lived a life of suffering, pain, and greater temptations than we shall ever face. This is one reason we are taught to bear our life cheerfully, for if HE could endure the worst conditions of life, when HE did not have to, certainly we can follow HIS lead, think???
Matthew 1...
So, all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations, and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, are fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon unto CHRIST are fourteen generations...
Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born JESUS, who is called CHRIST...
Now, the birth of JESUS CHRIST was on this wise: When as HIS Mother, Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with the child of the HOLY GHOST. Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But, while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the HOLY GHOST. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for he shall save his people from their sins." Now, all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the LORD by the prophet, saying, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, *GOD* with us."
Then, Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the LORD had bidden him, and took unto him his wife. And knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he called his name JESUS...
JESUS lived a normal life, but a life of love and unselfishness, until HE was grown, and then, HE began teaching amongst the people, spreading the WORD: 'Behold the KINGDOM of HEAVEN is at hand'. JESUS was perfect in character, HIS compassion for mankind was unfaltering, and, unrelenting. HE taught the importance of aligning to the HEAVENLY FATHER, and performed miracles such as mankind had never witnessed, nor, imagined before, leaving mankind to rethink their overall role in the matrix of life, with many rushing to be saved by HIS sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice which was delivered unto God, via HIS own blood...
Ah, the greatest story ever told, and the most compelling one mankind shall ever have to consider. Thus, we celebrate HIS birth, HIS life, and HIS deliberate presence, which is everlasting, that mankind might find life eternal on HIS right hand, as HE sits on the right of the FATHER, God…
This Christmas, let us rethink our roles in this life, let us begin to embrace the necessity for living in the WORD, in the Law of God, for it is written, and it is certain, come that day of HEAVEN on Earth, only those who took up the yoke of JESUS CHRIST, our LORD, our SAVIOUR, and pronounced HIM as such, are the ones who will, despite their inherent sin, find mercy, and thus salvation in the eyes of the ONE, the ONLY, the ALMIGHTY LORD, our God…
Merry Christmas, May the lessons of God reach your heart, that it is purified, may the LOVE of God be the example you live in, may the ideals HE requires become second nature to you, and yours, that you MAY, INDEED, be counted among the children, HIS children of the new order, HEAVEN on Earth. May you understand the importance of growth, from the soul out, may you understand the need to LOVE one another as you LOVE yourself, and may you honestly, with all of your heart, raise your LOVE, and thoughts to God our FATHER, that HE is ever present here and now with His love ready to heal you…
