A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO ONE AND ALL!!! 2013
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. today in the town of David, a savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger”. Luke 2: 9-12
What fitting way to describe the coming of our Savior in these verses from Luke. For the past several days, since the start of the Advent season, we have prepared for Christ’s coming. Just like a family with a very important guest, we are excited about it. Christmas has been and always will be an awaited season in our lives. More than anything, Christmas is about families. Christmas is about friendship. Christmas is about forgiveness and repentance. Christmas is about reaching out and inspiring others. Christmas is about sharing. But to sum it all up, Christmas is about Love – Jesus’ great love for all of us.
Sometimes, I ask myself what gifts I could give to my family that they will really appreciate. Gift-giving during the Christmas season is as old as time itself , it symbolizes our show of love for our family and close friends. And it makes us remember that the season of love is the perfect time to show that it is not just the ritual of gift-giving itself that is important, we should bear in mind that we celebrate Christmas because we are happy that the Christ-child has come.
May the blessings of the Lord ‘s birth be with you on Christmas Day and throughout your lifetime. Ihanda natin ang ating sarili sa pagtanggap sa Kanya. Let’s make room for Jesus in our lives.
