THIS MONTH DECEMBER: THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS – IS BEING COMMEMORATED AND CELEBRATED!
“And without CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.
CHRIST JESUS – He’s the reason for the season. He’s the reason for the celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can be efficacious. And He’s THE WORD, the GOD MANIFEST in humanity [John 1:14]. The WORD that’s able to do wholesome division and separation, of the human spirit, soul and body respectively; and all creatures are laid before Him [THE WORD] to do life and live godly [Hebrews 4:12-13]. He’s THE WORD that the Holy Angel’s harkened unto in life and grace [Psalms 103:20]. He’s the sent one of the trinity God, who came for humanity good and goodness and there’s NO CONTROVERSY of any sorts about Him.
“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God SENT forth His Son, MADE of a woman, MADE under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were UNDER the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons” Galatians 4:3-5.
“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God SENT not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16.
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.
For me, when you take away Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’.
CHRISTMAS means – A yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love to mankind in the birth of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His cause on earth.
CHRIST means – The anointed one, Messiah, Saviour, The Redeemer and more; while MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate.
Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:
- Peace and goodwill toward men
- Hope, Faith and Love for men
- Fellowship and Relationship
- Salvation for all mankind and more.
However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned. He’s no longer:
- The babe in the manger
- The servant to death
- The limited one and
- The Christ on the Cross.
He’s now the:
- God on the throne
- Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)
- Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and
- Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).
May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this month December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And without CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.
“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God SENT forth His Son, MADE of a woman, MADE under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were UNDER the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons” Galatians 4:3-5.
“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God SENT not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16.
“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were MADE by him; and without him was not any thing MADE that was MADE. 4 In him was LIFE; and the LIFE was the LIGHT of men. 5 And the LIGHT shineth in darkness; and the darkness COMPREHENDED it not . . .14 And THE WORD was MADE FLESH (HUMAN), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14 Emphasis Mine.
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.
“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING unto the voice of his WORD” Psalms 103:20.
“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, PENETRATING as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the COMPLETENESS of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and JUDGING the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 Amplified.
“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.
“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to nought: 7 but we speak THE WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.
