Christmas is fast approaching; it’s only a few days to count and its Christmas. Many people are so excited for Christmas to come, the excitement maybe due to the present they are expecting to receive this season. Kids are excited because of the new toys, clothes and lots of food. For many people, to have a happy Christmas is to have many material things. I remember watching an interview; the man was asking people if they have a happy Christmas. Majority of the answer were “no” and the reason were, they do not have much money to buy what they want. The world has this kind of mindset and unknowingly Christian has this wrong notion of Christmas. I am not saying that these things; having new clothes, toys or receiving things this season is evil, however, many people have missed the true meaning of Christmas. We forgot the heart of Christmas, the very reason why we are celebrating Christmas. We forgot Christ the centre of this season. We have this celebration because of the demonstration of God’s eternal love for man; Christ was born. And the angel declared that He will be called ‘’Emmanuel” meaning God is with us. Christmas is remembering that Christ had restored our relationship with God, that we can enjoy a close relationship with the Father. I encourage you today, even though you only have a few things this Christmas, celebrate this occasion with a thankful heart for what the Lord has done to you and I believe with all my of heart that you will have a different view in life. Moreover, to you who have many things, be thankful to God for what you have but do not forget that the true essence of a happy Christmas is embracing what God has done for your life. Happy Christmas!
