WHAT IS YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT?

Christmas is almost here and everywhere is full of excitement! As it is all over in the world, during Christmas, members of families aggregate at a point, take stock of the year, celebrate the current year and anticipate greater successes for the following year. Christmas is the time families and loved ones share food, successes and failures, difficulties etc. All these are great but there is something greater that we can also share with people! This is the word of God!

For Christians, Christmas marks the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Jesus lived on this earth and proved that the character of God the father can be lived again on earth after the fall of the first man (Adam). Jesus raised the death, fed the hungry, healed the sick and above all, brought the God life to man. Jesus died and resurrected to show the whole world that, death has been defeated. Jesus said in John 17:22 that, “And the glory which thou givest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one”. What a privilege we have as Christians. God has given man the power to take dominion over the earth. This is the good news we have to share with people.  

Christmas is one of the rare times we have to share the gospel with everybody we come across. Christmas is the time to remind believers about their place in Christ and what they are able to do: able to heal the sick; raise the death; deliver people from poverty and deprivation; discover more through science; lead the world; bring peace to the world etc.   It is also the time to tell unbelievers what God has in store for them and not to condemn them. As we celebrate Christmas, ensure that your share the word of the God with people you will come across. This the greatest gift you can give any one in this Christmas. Also don’t forget to share and celebrate other things like food, drinks, gifts etc. with your neighbours and friends. Merry Christmas in advance to everyone. Chao.
