Something to share
Today is Christmas. It isn't just a day for presents, for Santa and it isn't another public holiday.
To be honest, it's not Jesus' birthday either. No one knows when exactly was he born. But Christmas Day is a day the whole body of Christ chose, to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
I thought real hard. How does it feel like to be born to know that you're gonna die for the people who wants you dead?
We all have this kinds of thoughts, "I don't want to be born to know that I'll die of this and that sickness, to be born into such a horrible family, to be drown in such stressful situations." How can this even compare with one who is born to die, to suffer for those who reject you, to suffer for those who don't help you when you're gonna be crucified, to take their sins away? If everything is unfair to you, how is it fair to Jesus?
As I thought about these, I couldn't help but cry (I know. Crybaby again). Because of how sinful we are. And how many more things that displease Him that we're gonna do.
I know many out there are not Christians, but knowing it gives this day so much more meaning, that this day is a day to give thanks to the God who came down as a human being to experience what we experience, to feel the pain that we feel, to cry with us, to be joyful with us, like a true blue human.
2 services tomorrow before I'm off for the day! Yay! Good night and Merry Christmas to one and all!
