Oh man, I'm getting so happy!
Christmas is nearing!
Woohoo!
Christmas is practically the best day of the year!
agree? Agree?!
It just feels so soothing, so calm, so peaceful, and Silent night is resounding in my head.
Okay, anyway, please bear with me till the end of the post ok? To the end! xD
Christmas Carols! awesome 'la'!
Ok, firstly. Jingle Bells!
Secondly, Christmas Candles!
Thirdly, Christmas Carols!
Fourthly, Christmas Trees!
Fiftly ( if there is such a word) Christmas Decorated City!
Nice right?
But then do you know the true meaning of Christmas?
Well i think a lot of you have heard it but I'm still gonna say it,
So bear with me for a while. xD
Like what I said at the top of the post, please finish reading this post ok?
Ok, so on Christmas, Jesus was born, and that was the start of us getting salvation.
You know sometimes we do some stuff and feel bad for it? Well, we know it's wrong, and the wrong things that we do are called sins. And Jesus took away all our sins.
Okay, so i bet ur saying in ur heart: yeah yeah i know i know, heard this loads of times d.
But meditate on this, he didn't just die for our sins.
Before he was crucified on the cross,
He was tortured,
How? the guards made a crown from thorns, and pressed it hard on his forehead, if i use a needle to prick you, you'd probably scream already, so imagine the amount of pain Jesus felt.
And not only that, he was hit, so many times, and was forced to carry the heavy wooden cross and walk to the calvary. The movie The passion of Christ shows it, so if u wana know more about how Jesus was tortured, go watch it, it's saddening.
He was humiliated, betrayed.
Have you ever had a friend, you love him so much, (love as in friendly love) but he suddenly turns his back on you, betrays you, talk bad about you?
Jesus was betrayed by his very own people, by his disciples, he was humiliated by the guards, spit on, yet, he persisted over it, because he was doing it for all of us, because he loves us.
He died a painful death.
You know the most painful part of Jesus being crucified, was not just getting nailed by big fat nails over his hand and feet, it was also when they were rising the cross up, he was hanging with all the pressure on the nails in his feet and hands. imagine that. If i hang you up with just rope on ur hands and feet, would that hurt? Imagine nails!
Can you see it?
The love Jesus has for us?
So Christmas isn't just about all the decorations and all, it's about remembering the day that Jesus came to die, for OUR sins.
Because of Love.
Do you sometimes feel unloved?
Don't because, God is there, and He loves you, he loves all of us, more than anyone.
