Christmas...

..a miracle!


**based on a Christmas message by my Pastor.**


we all know about the Christmas story, infact we've probably heard it over a thousand times and even seen it acted out in front of us. We have the shepherds, the wise men, Mary and Joseph and a wonderful story of Jesus' birth. however, what's hidden beneath this story is a miracle.


do you believe in Christmas?


do you believe in Miracles?


miracles.. probably not. Not everyday do you see rising walls of the sea, a cold burning bush and all those other unnatural events that occured back in the Bible days. but have a think of this:


John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."


Now I have probably quoted this passage one to many times but it has so much relevance to Christianity! Well, in the passage we see God sent his Son to this earth, out of his own love. now we believe that as Christians and as celebrators of Christmas. (God's Son is Jesus)


but how can this be!? how do we, of all sinners deserve God's very own Son to come down to this earth as a human!? And to later save us all from sin!?!?

Part of God's very self has been a lived a part of this earth. Just like all of us. that's a Miracle!


life's easy these days. all we have to do is just accept Jesus, believe in him and we shall have eternal life!

some people think that Christianity is just about a set of rules that people follow to become Christian.
no! its a little more than that!!


Its about accepting this miracle in ourselves! and truly experiencing this miracle inside us.


Do you believe in miracles?


Christmas is an exciting time with family and friends. I hope you all have a safe and Merry Christmas and blessings for the new year!
