Hi. Welcome to our website and thank you for visiting it.
I assume that all signs of Christmas have disappeared from your house by now. In the shops only the last remnants of seasonal goods that haven’t been sold off remain. And as you travel around, apart from the odd one or two items not having been taken down yet there is no sign of Christmas displayed as it was not so long ago. But what about the reason why we celebrate Christmas – the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ? Has that been stored away along with the tree, the lights and the decorations until next Christmas? Or is it something you celebrate every day, and remember as you go through the year? Have you come to the one who was born in a stable and know that He has dealt with your sin so that you can know God and live with Him forever? If you have then everyday will be a day of rejoicing about His birth. But it will also be a day of rejoicing that He died on the cross for the forgiveness of your sin. So stop and ask yourself- is Christmas an ongoing celebration in your life, or is it like all the other stuff to do with Christmas – stored away as irrelevant until you think about it when it it is time to put the tree up again? One day when we stand before God, we will have to explain our choice of how we view Christmas. It will determine where we spend eternity, for those who celebrate the birth of Jesus as Lord and Saviour now will spend it in heaven with Him. You don’t want to think about the alternative.
