Christmas is the day of birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus’s another name is Immanuel which means ‘God is with us’. On Christmas, God took the form of human and came to this Earth, with the name Jesus. We see Jesus as - God in human form.
When Jesus lived in this world he saw people with love and care. He removed burdens from the lives of people. He set the captives free, he met those with love who were unloved and outcasted from society. He healed the sick, he fed the hungry and the thirsty of soul and body. Wherever he went that place witnessed miracles from Jesus.
In the bible we read Jesus said (John 8:12) – ‘I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life’. On this Christmas let us meditate on these words of Jesus and follow him. When we decide to follow Jesus, we have the light (i.e God’s Holy Spirit) in us which protects us from stumbling (falling) in the darkness (evil) of this world and leads us to eternal life.
On this Christmas let us be a light to those who are suffering in darkness, give love of Christ to those who are unloved in society, help those whom no one helps and above all tell them about Jesus and what he did on the cross for eternal forgiveness of our sins, opening the gates of heaven for those who believe in him and follow him.
God bless you.
