++ Abide with Christ ++

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. Jn 15:5 NKJV+

Merry Christmas

We know Jesus was born on the Day of Atonement, Tishri 10, of the Jewish calendar year. Yet there are too many variables to convert this Jewish calendar date, which was over 2000 years ago, to an accurate day on our present calendar system. We can merely put the date of the birth of Jesus to a season, late September to early October. This would make late December to early January the time the Son of God came down from Heaven, was conceived, and became man. The season we celebrate as Christmas.

Many do not really want to hear the truth about our Savior’s humble conception and birth. They would rather believe and celebrate congregational traditions, for they have received peace and joy from these traditions over the years. Others enjoy the worldly celebration Christmas has turned into, no longer caring about what really happened during this season. Yet traditions and the world should not dictate how we celebrate our Savior, but the Word of our God alone.

There is nothing wrong with celebrating the birth of Jesus at the same time we celebrate His conception, nor at any time during the year. As long as we let the Word tell us what happened, and follow this true story. The story of how our Heavenly Father created us, sustains us, and sent His only Son into the world to become man and save us from our sins. Our God loves us, and desires only one gift back from us, to love Him above all things. To love our neighbors as ourselves, feeding and caring for the needy.

We pray you receive all the blessings God has prepared for us as we celebrate the Christmas season.
