Friends, the birth of Jesus Christ was first foretell
by God Himself in the beginning after creation,after the fall of man in sin,
which is recorded in Genesis 3:15
wherein God told the originator of sin Serpent(Satan), “ And I will put enmity between
you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers(
her offspring here is Jesus); he will crush your head, and you
will strike his heel.”
Here,God
told Satan that Jesus would be born through a woman and He would punish
Satan. This means Jesus will defeat Satan and save Man(human being) from
Satan’s power. God is just and Holy. He must punish sin and its originator. He
cannot live with sin in His side. Therefore, God sent out Man from His place so
that He can purify man from sin. God’s intention is to punish sin and originator
of sin, Satan. Any human being with sin must also be punished.
Surgical
doctors also cut off and discarded the disease part of human organ in their
operation. Likewise, if any person is disease with sin, he or she must also get
punishment along with sin. But God love His created human beings and wants to
save them. That is why He sent His own Son, Jesus Christ to this world more
than 2000 years ago. Jesus got the punishment we ought to receive and died on
our behalf. Jesus died on the Cross. Cross at that time was made by the then
ruler of the world, Roman Government to punish the most wanted (the worst
sinner). Jesus Christ died on the Cross signify that His dead was for and on
behalf of all, including the worst sinners. However, the words of God, the
Bible says that only those who believe in Jesus Christ will be saved.
Friends,
we all are sinners since the beginning, even the best person is counted by God
as sinner if he or she does not believe in Jesus Christ. So, forget your
shortcomings, your bad habits, your wrong doings; come to Jesus Christ, confess
to Him in prayer secretly to Him that you are sinner ( knowing that even if you
are good enough, you are still counted by God as sinner because you don’t
believe in, and confess your sin to, Jesus Christ); invite Him to be your Lord
and Saviour; pray to Him to bless you and make you God’s child and be ready to
celebrate His coming in this world ( only to save you from the power of sin) on
Christmas Day, 25 December.
If
you already received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour(or have just done as requested
above) write ‘Amen’ to praise His name. May God bless you.
