Christmas is
the chief festival of Christians regardless of the denomination. It is said
to be the birth day of the saviour who came to save us from our sin. We
celebrate this festival so as to celebrate the birth of our saviour, but do we
actually celebrating it? We are celebrating a festival... it is...but the question
is, are we celebrating the birth of our saviour? If so then how? What we do to
celebrate christmas? Buying new cloths, preparing (or home delivery) delicious
food, crackers, and bottles of liquor!!! So do we celebrate the birth of our
saviour isn't it?
A question to
Christians.....why does Jesus Christ have selected a cattle shed for his birth
to this world? Being God he can do anything in our life, both desirable and undesirable,
then why did he born in such a place? Jesus came to earth for the poor, needy
and the sinner. When he came for the poor and the needy, how can he born as a prince,
hence he born as a son of a normal carpenter, simplicity that is what I wanted
to emphasize here. When we spent so much for our celebrations have we ever
tried to help some poor, atleast on Christmas time?
How many thousands
of money we spent in X’mas time? For cake, decorations, dressings and so many
like that….but have you ever tried helping a poor at the Xmas, by giving him and
his family a day’s food, providing him neat dresses. We do a lot charity to
poor by donating money to different organisations, its main idea is to save
tax, but can we be sure that, the money reaches the much needy ??? I don’t think so….when there are so many
starving in our neighborhood how can we ignore them and help someone we haven’t
seen or know at all….
Let’s this Christmas
be a blessed one for us, let’s celebrate this Christmas as the way Jesus taught
us, by feeding the poor and helping the needy. Merry Christmas.
