Jesus died for you and me
Jesus died and rose again
God so loved the world and Gave his ONLY son to die for us...( just think if you had a son or daughter, would you let that daughter die for this cruel,lonely, hurtful, sinful world)--would you?
Its funny because I ask myself that and I honestly come into tears because I dont know what I would do. I think about the hurtful, Horrible, atrocious things/acts/people/events etc in this world and I just dont know if i would let my child die for it...But God did it for you and me, he sent his only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for you and me. Jesus was beaten, spit on, rejected, nailed, betrayed, abandoned, and HE ( JESUS CHRIST) still died for me and you. I can never comprehend his love, and its something that I try to. I want to love like christ, but i know my love is a mustard seed compared to his love and grace for me.
We all have heard this, christmas is not about the presents..--unfortunately that what this world/century cares and focuses on christ. The true meaning behind christ is tossed around carelessly and is umimportant. I refuse to let christmas to be another holiday where i can put on a few pounds, anticipate gifts, "saying merry christmas" because its christmas. Christmas season is the season where we give like Jesus, love like Jesus, Forgive like Jesus, spread the love and word of Jesus christ, minister, save lives, start new lives, give your heart to christ, and enjoying his blessings.. I am not saying, Christmas is the only holiday is the season to finally talk to Jesus. But is the season to double/triple/quadruple everything. Its the season to look inside yourself and ask if the life you are living is the life that Jesus---who died for you wants for you?
