The True Heroes In The Christmas Story by Interesting15: 6:56am On Dec 25, 2022
Christmas is not simply all about santa and trees. It's all about celebrating the birth of our LORD JESUS CHRIST - the Saviour and Redeemer of mankind. It's usually a season of laughter and joy, shared with family and friends and loved ones.

Nevertheless, there are certain persons we must be eternally grateful to for the Gift called Christmas, for without them, we won't enjoy the joy of Christmas every year.

These are the Heroes Of Christmas.

1. GOD the Father:

John 3:16 gives a perfect description of the essence of Christmas: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"

It's a tough decision to give one's beloved son as a sacrifice for undeserving folks. So, we are eternally grateful to YAHWEH for giving us Jesus.

2. Jesus Christ

Jesus is the reason for the season. Christmas is all about Jesus, and not to do stuff contrary to His Will - all in the name of celebration. Amazingly, Jesus wasn't forced to come down here to offer His life as a sacrifice to reunite mankind back to God.

As a human, how would you feel if you were asked to become an ant and start living with ants? This is what it's like for Jesus (the Immortal KING of Eternity) to come down here to live with humans. But guess what? Jesus did this willingly, because He loves you and I dearly

3. The HOLY SPIRIT

Yeah, the Holy Spirit also played a role as far as the existence of Christmas is concerned (the unity of the Trinity is so amazing)

Don't forget that when the Angel Gabriel was discussing with Mary, he told her "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:35). So, the Holy Spirit is also one of the Heroes Of Christmas.

4. Mary the Earthly Mother of Jesus

Of course, the womb that conveyed Jesus from the supernatural realm into our physical world, is a blessed one. The chaste Mary was able to earn the great favor to become the Mother of the LORD Himself.

Mary was obviously a strong woman. Don't forget she isn't married to Joseph when she became pregnant, and you can imagine what neighbors would have said. But she ignored the opinions of others and chose to carry and tend to the Baby in her womb.

5. Joseph

Definitely, it won't have been an easy task for Mary if not for the spiritual and wise Joseph that stood with her, doing all it takes to ensure the well-being of the Baby Jesus.

6. The Early Disciples Of Jesus

Before Jesus came here for His Earthly ministry, there have been several other religions being practiced by different people. But after He ascended to Heaven, His Disciples, who were just around 120 were able to work hard to ensure Christianity spread all over the world like wide fire. If they had not partner with the Holy Spirit to propagate Christ, then you and I won't have known about Him today.

7. Every Christian In Our Own Day

Yeah, as Christians today, we are also Heroes Of Christmas, as we keep celebrating the LORD every year, increasing HIS Fame, and making more people know about His amazing works of redemption.

In conclusion, Jesus is the reason for the season, and Christmas should increase our Love for the LORD, as we reflect upon the sacrifices He made for us. It's not a time to indulge in sinful things all in the name of celebration, but should rather propel us to make a decision to stop anything sinful we have been doing.

JESUS Christ the Savior of the World and the ONLY way to Eternal life in Heaven is the Reason for the Season.

If whatever you are doing in the Name of celebration is not rooted or centered on JESUS Christ, HIS Word and HIS Commandments, then you are celebrating in Error.

Remember! That same JESUS is coming back soonest! As you celebrate, Ensure you Embrace JESUS Christ as the LORD and SAVIOR of your Life. Because, there is no more time!
This Ship is Sinking!! And JESUS Christ alone is the Life Boat.

Compliments of the Season to ALL

Christmas is Pagan period. Christmas is an avenue for "Christians" to participate in a Pagan celebration. Was Christ born in December? We are free to celebrate however we want .... but just don't get it twisted .... Christmas is not of Christ and has nothing to do with Christianity.

Christmas is supposed to be the most holy day for christians. It should be a day to celebrate the birth of a supposed savior. But unfortunately it's the worst day in the world.

A day with the highest rate of sin like fornication and drunkenness. A day when everyone exploit others. Fuel marketers hike price in the spirit of Christmas. Traders hike price in the spirit of Christmas. Hardship increases exponentially in the spirit of Christmas. People commit a whole lot of crime to celebrate Christmas.

Obviously there's no atom of spiritually in the supposed spiritual celebration

Interesting15 you left out Angel Gabriel (i.e. it was him dispatched to announce the glad tidings to Mary).

You also left out Elizabeth, (i.e. Mary's cousin). She affirmed that Mary carried God in her womb

Ninth month in the Hebrew calendar isnt December.

Practice what you preach. Do the 2 Timothy 2:15 well before making embarrassing comments here

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.

No one claim it's the exact day but the month is right and Christ followers create this day to celebrate Jesus so as to stop the early Christian from going to celebrate the sun since December is the same month of birth of Jesus

Stop lying and twisting your way in attempts to justify that which is against God. undecided

Any tradition that does not originate from God's very command is considered to be Pagan in origin. Jesus Christ never commanded His followers to celebrate His birthday and He certainly gave them no dates to that end. What that means is that the celebration of His birthday does not originate from Him and is hence pagan in origin. Worse, by associating His name with your pagan celebrations, you sin against God. lipsrsealed

Do you know how the term Pagan is applied, at least in scripture? undecided

Any idea that was not part or God's Law to His people where considered to be Pagan in origin. Jesus Christ never instructed His followers to celebrate Him or His birthday. In John 5 vs 41 Jesus Christ even declared that He does not desire praise from any human. So, when you say that the idea for the celebration of his assumed birth date comes, not from Jesus Christ Himself but from men who you pretend were his followers you admit that the idea is indeed of Pagan origin. undecided

Sadly, you don't realize that by asserting your celebration is in His honor, you sin against Him. undecided


Merry Christmas! undecided
