Advent



Christmas, Advent!

We are in that season now. Many of us are not aware of what Christmas or Advent really means.

Christmas is the biggest celebration all over the world. It's the longest as well. Christmas is celebrated for one month, if you want to celebrate it properly but for some, like our international pastor it is a celebration for around 3 months! He starts singing Christmas hymns and "thinks" Christmas in September.

Christmas is a very special time of the year. It doesn't matter how you celebrate it , you can't really miss that it is Christmas.
You see that out on the streets, in newspapers and magazines, on TV and you hear it on radio, Christmas is everywhere!

I as a Christian believer of course know that Jesus is the reason for the season , but if you disagree or do not know that, I would like to tell you that:
There is a purpose of Christmas, not the purpose of "shop till you drop", or do "Santa or Frosty the snowman" really exist. No there is a real purpose and that's:

Christmas is a time for celebration
Christmas is a time for salvation
Christmas is a time for reconciliation

We celebrate that Jesus Christ is born. God decided that he wanted to become one of us. He wanted to do so in able to talk to us, to help us, to show us how much he loves us.

We read in Luke 2:10 that: "I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people".

Wow. He bring YOU, very personal YOU great Joy! Hey!! we want joy don't we?, and it is for ALL people. Not only for some! it's for every one!
It's for you!

The news that he brings is:

God loves you
God is with you
God is for you
God loves you, God created you. If you don't like something you don't create it. It's natural. I wouldn't. But God created you because he loves you.

God is with you. He came to earth to be with you. He is with you in good times and in bad times.
Sometimes it feels like he is not here but that doesn't mean he isn't.


God is for you, God knows what is best for you. He wants you to run to him. He tells us that " fear not"
There is no fear in love, perfect love drives out fear and God IS love! Perfect Love
