More Than Gold


Merry Christmas everyone,

Why was the birth of Jesus so special that made the angels dance and sing glorious songs in the heavens? What made the birth of Jesus special?

In simple terms, the permanent solution to man’s problems had arrived on earth. The angels had to see their creator in the form of man, who also stood as the sacrifice that would set man free permanently of their sin problem. It was something more than gold to behold, not like anything else to behold.

The wise men I would believe weren’t just led by God to where Jesus was born, but the gifts they gave were also directed by God: Gold, frankincense, and myrrh, which summarised Jesus’ life here on earth. But His birth was golden, not just about where He came from in terms of His royal status. But have you suffered a thing seriously to the point that it was just to take your life that was left, till someone introduced the permanent solution to your problem? This is how the birth of Jesus feels to me.

I don’t know about you, but the birth of Jesus is so important to me that if Jesus wasn’t born, He wouldn’t have died to take away our sins, and there wouldn’t have been a resurrection to give us a brand new life.

To imagine the story of Jesus’ birth, as you go through the early chapters of the gospels makes me cry tears of joy, and appreciate how much God loves us, that He went through all these for us, rather than just wiping us away which would have been easier if I were in His shoes.

If we say because of His resurrection we have a brand new life, we should also remember that because of His birth we have a brand new life, the beginning phase in anything is very important. Once this fails, your vision is useless. I don’t know about you, but for me, the first coming of Jesus in reference to His birth is more than gold.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
