What and who Christmas is


   Well here it is another Christmas season and the shopping and looking for things to give each other has begun.   Everyone has their attention and hope on getting gifts of their hearts desire, store merchants are trying to advertise and display and capture the attention of the public to buy this thing or another thing in order to celebrate Christmas by raising their profits at years end.   A lot of emphasis is placed on getting and receiving gifts most of it on getting more than giving.   But the world does not know what Christmas is neither can they celebrate the true meaning of Christmas for they of the world don’t know it, cannot understand it and cannot show it therefore the celebration of the world at Christmas time is valueless and without meaning.



   For most king dollar determines Christmas for them if they have enough money they can buy and sell Christmas for the love of king money is the root of all their expectations of Christmas with money they can buy the pleasures of their flesh and create false joy and happiness which gives them a feeling of false contentment that swiftly goes away after Christmas day has ended.



   Only True Christians can celebrate Christmas because they know what and who Christmas is.   We know what Christmas is, Christmas is the gift of God that cannot be purchased or sold it is the free gift of God given by God’s mercy and grace to the world of darkness and sin, Christmas is God’s gift of light sent into the world to bring true joy, happiness and contentment to all who will accept and receive Him.  



   We know that Jesus Christ is the true name of Christmas and He is the gift of abundant eternal life given freely to them who will seek Him.   Jesus is God’s love everlasting gift of life offered freely to those who will humbly accept Him.   Jesus is love true love, He is the Spirit of love freely given from God above who is pure love for the very essence of our heavenly Father is love, love is who God is ,love is who Jesus is and love is who Christmas is and love is who Christians are and should be.



   Only true sincere faithful Christians can know God’s love and understand God’s love, only they can share God’s love because only true Christians understand that true love is a gift from God and cannot be bought or sold with money, silver or gold.



   When one is in the presence of a Christian who is in the presence of Jesus who is the very presence of the Spirit of God in them it is easy to determine whether they have the gift of love or not.

(“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” )  John 13:35 KJV

(“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” )  1 John 4:7 KJV

(“And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”)   1 Peter 4:8 KJV



   A true Christian can only be identified by these gifts that only come from the Spirit of God who is love.

(But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.)      

Galatians 5:22-23 KJV

(“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”)

1 Corinthians 13:13 KJV



   God’s greatest gift to the human race is love His name is Jesus His birth date unknown but celebrated as  holy Christmas day in remembrance  of the holy night God sent His love into the world to be our light and life to save sinners such as you and me from our sins which were killing us.



   While the world celebrates a holiday we Christians celebrate God’s holy day in remembrance of the birth of our holy savior Jesus Christ our Lord God.

“Let all your things be done with charity.”   1 Corinthians 16:14  

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”   1 John 4:8 KJV



   Are you celebrating Christmas with the children of God this year or are you following the world reveling and wallowing in your daily practices of sin?

   Do you know God, do you know love, do you know Jesus, and until you do you will never know the true meaning of Christmas which is the gift of God’s pure love, light, life, mercy, grace, forgiveness and salvation?




   Mary and I pray you all have a blessed Merry Christmas in the Lord Jesus Christ and a very Happy New Year in serving Him who lived, died and rose from death to life again to give us all abundant eternal life hope of heaven.

God richly bless you all who in sincerity do know Him in love as your personal Lord God and savior.
