Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
Christmas Is Coming
Before I get started, I need to make somethings very, very clear, December 25th is NOT when Jesus, Our Savior and Lord was born. In fact there is no one on this Earth that knows the Day, Hour or even the Year that Jesus was born. The only ones would have been Mary and Joseph as far as Human Beings, the rest would have been the Host Of Heaven.
December 25th was a date that the Catholic Church and Pagan Worshipers came to an agreement on to bring peace, to bring unity.
It is believed that Our Lord Jesus was born sometime in the Spring, not Fall or Winter, the only one that know for sure now is The God Head and Angles. No one else present or future no’s the day. The only thing that we Might be sure of is that Jesus was visited by the Wise Men in the evening because of the Star that led them.
The other thing is that when the Wise Men found Jesus, we do not know how old Jesus was, Jesus could have been up to Two Years Old.
Matthew 2:1, 4-5, 8 KJV
"1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, ... 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, ... 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also."
The Day and Time of Jesus Birth is Estimated even by the Wise Men seeking Him. The know by Prophecy Where, they know by Prophecy what was Jesus Purpose for coming, in general.
This is something that Humans have messed up since the beginning of Christmas and will continue to do so until Jesus comes back for His Bride.
Another important part that tells us that we have no idea when Jesus was born…
Matthew 2:11, 13, 16 KJV
"11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. ... 13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. ... 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men."
The key in the above Scriptures is the “Young Child”, when the Wise Men found Jesus, He could have already been a year old or even approaching two, we simple do not know. But what you need to consider is that if The Father wanted us to know, then we would know without question.
Now comes the really hard part, even though the World for the most part celebrates Christmas, everyone celebrates Christmas for many, many different reasons. Most have a Knowledge that Jesus was born on this day, which now you know Jesus was Not Born On December 25th! But the bigger part of the World celebrates in giving each other Gifts as a gesture of Love or Friendship or acquaintance, in which has nothing to do with Our Savior’s Birth.
The notion of Giving Gifts comes with the event of the Wise Men finding Jesus, they brought with them all kinds of gifts that we do not know the fullness there of, but we seem to only focus on three, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, but I believe that whatever was the Most Valuable at that time, they Offered to Jesus, it could have been just the three, we do not know exactly.
Matthew 2:11 KJV
“And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."
With that being said, we as The Blood Bought, The Born Again, should be Celebrating Jesus every day for the rest of our lives, should we be giving Jesus Praise, Glory and Honor with Our Lives!
Galatians 2:20 KJV
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
The reason that the Day, Hour and Year are not important is that, it is only to be used as a Remembrance that Jesus was born of a Virgin, that Jesus was born by immaculate conception, that Mankind in it of itself had nothing to do with it.
I celebrate Christmas, but it is not because that is when Jesus was born, but that I give gifts to Loved Ones, Friends, to let them know of a Love that only Jesus could have given, I celebrate Christmas not because of the Time Of Year but only because it is a day chosen to give gifts of Love and Appreciation. My Gift to Jesus, is that I Live Every Day to the Fullest In Him that the World may know of the Gift Of Salvation is Present Every Day, to Every One, not just one day a year.
Most of those who go to a church to Celebrate Christmas are hypocrites, doing it for show or for entertainment and not for Jesus. When or even how long have you heard a conversation with Brothers and Sister that totally surrounded Jesus, but instead it is mostly of celebrations, get together to have their own pleasures in this World!
Christmas is a Man Made Holiday, if it were not, one, it would be specific in The Word and secondly, The World would not participate, but would be against such things. But Christmas has become one of the most Productive season of the years that the Rich get richer because of our ignorance. We buy Trees, Ornaments, Wrapping Paper, Ribbons, Tensile and gifts, all having nothing to do with Jesus. Many will speak it is because of Jesus, but where is truly the Heart Of The Matter…
Isaiah 29:13 KJV
“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:"
Christmas, along with Thanksgiving, are two major focal points for the Needy, the Poor, the Homeless, there is something wrong with this picture, should it not be every day! Oh, that’s right, it is a time to Clear Our Conscience in saying that we have helped the helpless!
Do not get me wrong, I like giving, I like to hear the Christmas music, but shouldn’t that be something that I am used to doing every day???
Weigh your Hearts, your Thoughts are they Truly About Jesus or have you been caught up in a Worldly Presentation of Self Indulgence?
Let this be the Cry of every Blood Bought, Born Again…
Psalm 139:23-24 KJV
"23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
Do you think that Jesus wants you to Celebrate His Birth One Day a Year…Is your Salvation for One Day A Year?
Amen and Amen!!!
