Lessons From Christmas by ayo4dworld(m): 6:39am On Dec 26, 2014 |
Christmas is not just a time for us to merry alone, but there are some things we should pay attention to and learn from our Saviour who was born (The reason we are actually celebrating Christmas. -1- Humility If there is one thing that the birth of Christ teaches us all is Humility in high respect. Jesus Christ humbled Himself to come to the earth for the remission of our sins with all His position in Heaven. Can you imagine that the King of kings was so humbled that He was born in a manger even when there are several best hospitals. #Jesus was #Humility Personified Phil2:9-11. Won't it be great if we can learn, copy, and covet this attitude of our Saviour. Our Saviour, Jesus left all His mansions in Heaven with all the comfort therein and choose to come to this earth to suffer. From all the house on earth, He decided not to come through the influential, wealthy, rich people but He chose to come through the house of a poor Carpenter. Jesus really brought Himself low as said in Phil 2:9-11. Can you do all these just to save perishing souls. This is one of the great lessons of Christmas we all Christians should try and learn and not use all day for merry making alone. Some workers in church will even refuse to leave their present parishes to plant other parishes, all because they don't want to leave the comfort of their fully Air Conditioned environment, Fans, Projectors, fully Secluded and secured environment for the mosquito filled, unsecured, unhealthy environment. It is as worse as that. Yet many of them celebrate Christmas like no man's business. Let your impact be felt this Christmas. Never let it be zoned to merry making alone. It is well with you!... -2- Compassion Another lesson we should also learn from Christmas is compassion. It was the compassion Jesus had for perishing souls that made Him come to Earth. Jesus could not stand souls perishing that's why He came to earth. Moreover He wasn't the only one there (The question God asked shows that 'Who shall I send?) Others refused but the compassion Jesus had made Him to accept to go through all the sufferings to save mankind. Are you compassionate at all? Are you compassionate enough? Don't you wish to be more compassionate as Jesus was? Look around you, many souls are on their way to hell 'perishing' just because they haven't seen someone that will share the gospel to them. Nobody to go to their respective huts to tell them the good news. Enough of the souls perishing around your locality, GO out and preach the gospel with all thy strength and might. You will not lose your reward, I'm very sure about that. God bless you! -3- #Christmas also teaches us love. As we know that God Himself is love. Jesus acted love. It was not just in mere saying. He demonstrated it. If not for the love He had, He wouldn't have thought of coming to earth knowing fully well that He will go through all those pains, sufferings and punishments. He had the greatest love for us all, For one to accept to die in our place for the sins we actually committed. If the love He has for us is not greater, which other love could be called greater? Sincerely there is no greater love than this! Nobody on earth can love us as Jesus loves us. We also should try and replicate the love of Christ unto others this Christmas and not just make merry alone. We should help those who are in one need or the other and we should also bring them to Christ's feet as this is the greatest kind of love and gesture we can Show/give to them this yuletide season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Advance! #ChristmasLesson Thanks for Reading, God bless you real good!!! Ayotunde Folahan Copyright, 2014 |
