He was a servant, yet He is a King
He died, yet He rose
He was tempted, yet He never sinned
He was poor, yet He fed
He is the truth, yet many turned away from Him
He loved, yet He was despised by many
He is far, yet He is near,
He was quiet, yet He was strong
He suffered, yet He brought joy
He was man, yet He is God
We were doomed, yet His grace is sufficient.
He died, yet He rose
He was tempted, yet He never sinned
He was poor, yet He fed
He is the truth, yet many turned away from Him
He loved, yet He was despised by many
He is far, yet He is near,
He was quiet, yet He was strong
He suffered, yet He brought joy
He was man, yet He is God
We were doomed, yet His grace is sufficient.
By Hsien Lit Chew for His glory
This man is no other than Jesus Christ. Borned in the manger, with no biological father, He grew up as a carpenter making a living on wood and ironically, He died on a wood. He wore a crown just like a king, but it was the only crown that has thorns.
My friends, you and I, your first Christmas gift ain't the bicycle, the first guitar, the first nintendo set, or your underwear. Our first Christmas gift is Jesus Christ. Whether you like it or not, whether you receive it or not, Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas and He was God's gift to us on that first Christmas day. He was the greatest gift that any person can ever receive at anytime. Sadly, many rejected the gift.
I would like to reiterate what a pastor in the Liberty Christian Centre preached. According to a survey, the most favoured item that symbolizes Christmas was the Christmas tree. So it was, there are 3 important items on Christmas. The gift list, the tree and the gift. And God too has the same thing for Christmas. He has a gift list, the tree and the gift. You guessed it right, the tree is the cross that Jesus died on, the gift is the salvation, and the list as it is. However, there are huge differences. We select gifts according to the list. Your best friends get the better gifts, your good friends get the ordinary ones. But God did not do that for all men have fallen short of God's glory. Our gifts depreciate but His gift keeps on giving and giving and giving till the end of time. God's gift is good for all ages, all seasons and all situations.
Let us give thanks to God for Christmas. Let us give thanks for the First Christmas Gift. Hope more will receive this gift with open hearts.
Merry Christmas!
