Spirit of Christmas

It's true that the Bible does not tell us to celebrate Jesus' birthday.  We do not even know the exact date, and much about the season has a pagan background.

How would you then define "the Christmas spirit?"  Would it be a friendly smile between strangers, the sound of familiar carols, a tree with twinkling lights in a sea of brightly wrapped packages, or just that good feeling you get this time of the year?

We can enjoy christmas because we know the Joy of Christ.  It's the Christ of Christmas we celebrate, not Christmas itself.  Everyday would be Christmas day, if Christ is with us in our daily walk.

To the Christian - our life on earth is like a journey on a road or a highway - moving and going forward (progressive) - that is, we need to grow in our spiritual life, from baby to teenager to young adult then to middle age to senior age.

Our life journey is like a car (vehicle) travelling on the road.  When we are a new convert (new car) - we tend to go very fast, our faith being strong and vibrant - everything is Praise God Amen.

After a few years, we tend to slow down (car not so new) - we will let others take the lead, we are more cautious, we do not want to be hurt or to hurt others.
As the years passed, we become contented - we know we are blessed - we know God's Grace and Mercy- so we slack in our spiritual life - we become just a Sunday Christian - we forget to worship and fellowship with God, we focus and pursue our own life and goals, we then put God aside.
  

So make the most of Christmas, focus on Christ.    X'Mas is nothing without     CHRISTmas.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas celebration with all your loved ones. As we continue to rejoice and celebrate our Lord and Saviour King Jesus, may we remember that everyday is a reason for celebration because of Him!

Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in our hearts.
Celebrate Jesus tills He returns!
