As the rush of Christmas dawns upon us, I felt it fitting to pose the question: "What is Christmas?"
The misconception of Christmas has become so tradition orientated that we actually forget the actual reason why we celebrate the day...
Malls are busy with last minute shopping for gifts and groceries to prepare fancy meals, children are rushing around screaming for toys, parents want to buy the best clothing for their kids to wear around this season... Is this really Christmas?! I think not...
Christmas is the birthday of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Born to the virgin Mary. A child that will go on to save the world. The Messiah. The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. So many of us get fixated around the charade of Christmas that we forget to say: "Happy birthday Jesus".
The book Luke in the Bible Says this:
"He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them."
Folks, let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas. Let us go out and spread the joy, love and peace that God has called for in our lives and in turn make this world a better place. Educate your children with what is right not what society portrays to be right.
Always remember, You Have The World At Your Feet.
Stay blessed,
Fabian Frank
