Our Lord is come


I love Christmas. Any day during which people remember Jesus is a day I like! Here's a little poem (posted two days late) from me to you, sibling in Christ!

Some view Christmas as a feast; there's food and drink galore.
Some view Christmas as parties, gifts and friends but nothing more.
But we who know the truth, let us sing and praise with joy!
For many years ago upon this night was born a Boy.
Our humble Saviour, He was born in a manger lined with stone.
That on the cross He'd die for us, our sins taken as His own.
For this reason we have hope for all eternity:
Jesus and His finished work forever set us free.

Once, not too long ago, I looked forward to Christmas for only one reason: TOYS! I still remember that awesome Power Rangers mecha I received one year(1997?). Sure, I knew that Jesus was the meaning behind Christmas but that was just head knowledge, a little tidbit kept at the back of my mind. I enjoyed the good food, I enjoyed the parties and got the same thing every year: temporal happiness. 'Cause when the tree is dismantled and the decorations kept away, life went on as normal.

The funny thing is that I still look forward to Christmas due to a gift. The gift of Jesus on the cross. I really thank God that He was so patient with me. My mum, my cousins Markus and Joanne, even my former classmate Liyee: all of them were used by God to show me His love for me. Even after the tree is dismantled and the decorations put away, I'm still filled with joy knowing the truth: out of His perfect love Jesus died for me upon the tree, cursed so that righteousness now adorns me like a robe.

Many people get negative thoughts whenever they hear the word 'Christian'. They may think of greedy churches or hypocrites or negative examples in the media. But I'd like to challenge you today: if you haven't already, give God a chance to show His love for you. He is the answer to your doubt, the perfect love that casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). No challenge in your life is above God's ability to surmount (Matthew 17:20). And above all, He loves you for who you are. So much so that He sent His Son to die for a world where nobody cared about Him.

Merry (belated) Christmas!




Abba, You love me.
