The gift and Spirit of Christmas is Christ, and should continually be. We come enmasse to celebrate Christ’s birth because He brings light to a dark world. True, we see Christ as we share His character of love, kindness, sacrifice; but also when we receive His person. There is beauty in believing in the person and teaching. You cannot deny the Lord and follow His steps instead, or accept His divine lordship and person and deny His teaching. There is a oneness of knowing He is Lord and that His ways are wholesome.
God’s light had never been so bright and great, it was as though He had stepped in Himself in all fullness of power and glory- yet this mystery is true that God has been found amongst us in revelation of Himself. The light is one with the source.
What do we do with this baby, born to us, who is Christ the Lord? It’s time to honour God for this gift of grace. The bible teaches this truth. Make do in the timeframe of the mercy and grace of God; in this precious space for breath.
Merry Christmas to all who love the Lord, and look forward to His returning.
God bless.
Evangelist Israel Okunwaye
