Christmas is a time for family, a time for relaxing, a time to have fun with santa, presents, decorations, green trees, reindeer songs etc. Or so our increasingly pagan, materialistic culture would have us believe.
What is the real cause for celebration? The Apostle John said it all. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whomsoever believeth in Him might be Saved” Jn 3 -16. He who believeth Not has already dammed themselves.
Christmas can never be separated from Easter. The unpleasantness of Easter makes all of us aware of our guilt, no sleigh bells, no santas no drunken parties.
Christ Jesus, the Second member of the Trinity, our Creator God, became one of us in a little village of Bethlehem almost 2000 years ago. He put His life forward as a Atoning Sacrifice, so that fallen humanity could have the guilt of its sins taken away in the final Judgement. A rescue mission for the doomed.
Unbelievable Love.
Why would God be born in human form and be rejected abused and tortured to death? If God suffered and died to appease His own Righteous and just requirements, His Sacrifice isn’t relevant to Us as fallen humanity. It is God dying for God.
If Jesus was just a good and perfect man, his Easter Sacrifice would not be sufficient to redeem more than himself. So the baby Jesus was not only true God, but also true Man, born of a woman, NOT the queen of Heaven. Just a decent, believing young woman. One of us. Mary, a descendant of King David as foretold by the Prophets for a thousand years.
How can God become a man? Atheists often scoff. Remember, God created man in His own Image. Not as the evolutionary cult would have us believe, just another animal. Descended from a monkey.
No person, who is made to suffer in this fallen world ruled by Satan and his sick followers, can ever charge God with sitting in Heaven, watching suffering mankind with disinterest and detachment.
The old Beatles song, “The fool on the hill”, was completely and blasphemously wrong. It is Buddhist despair. The baby born in Bethlehem is Gods answer.
No matter what we suffer or face in this fallen place, He has also suffered. Rejection, abuse, ridicule, torture abandonment and death. He has gone ahead of us and overcame it all for us, right to the Resurrection of His dead body to everlasting Glory.
Remember this year as we celebrate Christmas, His love for us all. He is our Brother and we are His people. He will never abandon us in suffering and death.
Be happy, dont be afraid as you face the hideous evil being planned for us by Satan, we have already won.

FYI
👍 Jesus is Lord.
That John 3:16 verse is only half right, the ending might be saved is incorrect. The true verse from the King James Version for Decades is “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
I studied the bible when I was younger and got Baptised from a Baptist Church, then I asked many questions that could not get any true answers too. Like why are there so many adaptations from Word Of God where should only be the true translation like in KJV no words should be removed or altered. Another question is which is the True Religion because each one has things you can or unable to do. Recently if the human race came from Adam and Eve that means incest was only way to populate the Earth. Then at the time of the Flood only people were left was Noah and his Wife their sons and wifes 8 in total and all the Animals on the Ark would this include all the insects? Incest would have been involved yet again to repopulate the Earth. With just 8 people in total how now have so many races,skin colour and languages? if the 8 on the Ark were Caucasian would be physically impossible to get a race like the true blacks of the Aborigines.
Only those in the know what Area 51 has in their could there be an Alien Race being many UFO sightings which ended up being put in Tabloid magazine one way to confuse the masses add the truth to the fake then the masses will believe all fake. Could Jesus Christ be an Alien 🤔🤔🤔 https://www.medicaldaily.com/jesus-christ-was-alien-according-ufo-expert-433282
It’s the reason why so much controversy and confusion with Creation and Science.
I wish to thank the Editor, contributors and others, who are involved in your informative and factual news which is always delivered with regularity.
We are given awareness like no other.
My blessings to you all at this Christmas time and may we focus on the reason for Christ’s birth and we know that God is in control…tho at times we despair.
In Him we have peace.
Stay safe and blessed by this meaningful celebration….and I am so appreciative of your goodness and items which I share to many of likeminded acquaintances.

If Jesus WAS born in the dead of winter, coincidentally smack on top of the pagan festivals celebrating the days getting longer, He would be turning 2 this year. In Egypt. Times back then were as brutal as they are today. And yet if He had waited for a loving, peaceful time, we would still be waiting. Thank You, God.
Thank you for sharing these bible truths about Jesus.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 8:38-39
Hmmmm…there’s a lot of people out there who’ve studied very ancient text and writings on just where ‘Jesus’ has come from and who he was. It’s not as people think. There was NO mention of him until 150AD. 🤨 New ‘Religion’ is another that has controlled humans minds for a couple of thousand years. And you’ve all followed willingly while they got rich.
