Christmas is a word made up of two parts. Christ and Mass. Traditionally the Mass for Christ was held each year on the 25Th of December to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It was a festival of lights and gifts and songs and celebration. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us when the baby Jesus was born in a manger. The Saviour of the world was born! Light came into the world that was in darkness. God revealed His plan of Salvation and Redemption to all men. The birth of Jesus Christ was God's gift to all of us. Christians still know and realize what Christmas is all about. The non believing world still tries to obscure the message and marginalize the birth of our Lord. Non believer's agonize over the Christmas celebration because they have not accepted the free gift of life from the Lord. They try to destroy the message in every conceivable way because they do not understand it. Even some believer's have distorted the true message of Christmas.
What is Christmas to you? Is it a time to eat, drink and be merry? Is it a time to receive gifts?
Instead of a birthday celebration for Jesus Christ, has it become a birthday party for you and all your family? How much time have you devoted to thanking and praising God for the gift of our Lord and Saviour in the flesh? We need to guard against the world and non believer's who are only trying to enrich themselves and destroy the beauty of the true message. The world has gone out of its way to substitute toys, Santa, and numerous traditions to obscure what Christ Mass is all about. Santa can not save you or give you new and eternal life. Do not let the world take your eyes of the true message of this important day. Christ Saves! Praise the Lord!
Can you believe the audacity of non believer's. It is not enough that they are ignorant and unwise, they want to control the lives of everyone and deny us the Joy and Love and Happiness that comes with the birth of Christ. They do not want us to celebrate the birth of the Lord because they do not want to bow down to the King of King and the Lord of Lords. From the beginning there have been two groups of people. Those who love and serve God and those who have rejected and disrespected the Lord. Those that reject God want to continue in their sin and deviant behavior. They despise the influence and power of Christmas and they hate God.
If you Love Jesus, celebrate His birth. Remember who the party is for and who is the guest of honor. Teach your family and friends what Christ Mass is for! Influence the world and show everyone what you know and believe. That Jesus Christ is the Lord God. Merry Christmas!
