God Became Flesh : The Truth of Christmas
“She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus,
for he will save his people from their sins … Behold, the virgin shall
conceive and bear a son and they shall his name Immanuel, which means, God with us.”
(Matthew 1:21, 23)
“… I bring you good news of good news of great joy at
will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day … a savior,
who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10, 11)
All over the world every people celebrate the
Christmas. But I am skeptic that those who celebrate the Christmas really know the
meaning of it. Most of Christians think that going Church and praying, decorating
houses with colourful lights, giving gifts each other, giving party to friends and
sharing food with poor for a day is Christmas. People from other religions think that Christmas is the day in which Christians celebrate the birthday of the
person who is the founder of the religion called Christianity.
I would tell you that Christ Jesus didn’t come to found
a new religion (Mt. 5:17), but HE came to expose the hypocrisy which men try to
hide in the name of religion or God and lead them in the path of Truth. The
Holy Scripture tells us that Christmas is of Christ Jesus. Celebrating the
Christmas without Christ is the product of our materialistic and consumerism
society. The Holy Scripture tells us three things about Christ Jesus.
Christ Jesus is the atonement of sin for all men. We read about the tragedies in our daily newspapers.
Murder, robbery, bribe, adultery, rape, etc. are the headlines of each
newspaper daily. Do you know that the reason of these incidents? The Holy
Scripture says that the reason of these tragedies in the world is sin which
dwells in the heart of men. Under the influence of sin, men commit the crimes even he doesn't want to do.
That’s why God sent his son Christ Jesus to save men whom HE created in HIS own
image and likeness and Christ Jesus sacrificed HIMSELF on the cross as an
atonement of our sin.
Christ Jesus is the very presence of God among all men. The Holy Scripture says that “... in HIM the whole fullness of
deity dwells bodily” (Col. 2:9). The Angel who predicted the birth of
Jesus Christ, called him Immanuel, which means ‘God with us’. In other words,
Christ Jesus is the very presence of God midst us and the way which leads all
men to God. For HE himself has declared saying, “… I am the way, and the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Christ Jesus is the saviour of all men. Christ Jesus didn’t come only to be great teacher
(guru), social reformer or the representative of God in the world, but HE came
to bear the penalty of our sin that we may release its punishment. HE is the
only sinless, blameless and holy sacrifice who died on the cross as a sinner,
buried and raised from the dead (1 Cor. 15:3, 4).
This is the Good News of Christmas which I would preach
to each person in this world. It is deep and highest desire of my heart that I received my saviour in 2000
during Christmas season, in same way you may receive HIM as your saviour.
(It has been our joy to share this message on 25th December 2018 at Phulbari more than 250 people (unbelievers) who came to celebrate the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our heart is filled with gratitude to God and our dear villagers who accepted the invitation and came to celebrate and heard the Christmas message. It is published originally in Nepali and distributed. Later it is translated into English and Hindi and available online in below)
