FAITH CAPSULE: The celebration of Jesus should be at every breath of life.
John 3
Jesus was born quietly in an unexpected location.
Luke 2:7 record the scene when Mary gave birth to Jesus, “she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.”
When Jesus was born, no single inn with an available room for His arrival to the world to deliver and preserve against lack of abundance in every way of life.
Since the time of the birth of Jesus, there are no rooms, no space in the inn that is available for Jesus.
Do you have a room for Jesus in your inn?
Celebration for the birth of Jesus is with wild glamorous but not with a position to count before God.
Celebrating the birth of Jesus should be at every breath of life, not once a year.
Celebrating the birth of Jesus should be with Christ reality, not religious engagement.
Celebrating the birth of Jesus should be with understanding to gain and retain the presence of God.
What are you celebrating about Jesus?
Are you one that celebrates the gift of God at a selected time of convenience celebration?
With understanding, get to know and be giving continual celebration for the birth of Jesus.
Jesus is the gift of God, and the celebration of Jesus entails giving back to God by living life for the glory of God.
Live life for the glory of God by obedience to the word of God.
To obey is to be living as commanded by God.
God, in His goodness and mercy, sent His Word.
Remember that the Word of God is God.
Jesus, the Word of God, is here, not that He is yet to come!
John 10:10 records the word of Jesus: “…I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Jesus is here already.
Understanding is celebrating Jesus continually.
Are you a believer by mouth but not a believer by heart, not living the way of God?
God truly loves His creation to give His Son.
John 3:16-18 records:
For, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jesus is here!
The purpose of His coming is to believe in Him and not perish.
It is an error not to believe in Him celebrating Him.
Celebrating Jesus without understanding defeats the purpose of His coming over the life of one that does not believe in Him.
Celebrate Him continually, with understanding, give yourself to live life to the glory of God.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live life for His glory.
