For it to be truly Christmas, let us not forget this: God comes to be with us and asks us to take care of our brothers and sisters, especially the poorest, the weakest, the most fragile, whom the pandemic risks marginalising even more.


Today a light has been lit, a kindly light, reminding us that in our littleness, we are beloved sons and daughters, children of the light. Let us rejoice together, for no one will ever put out this light, the light of Jesus, who tonight shines brightly in our world.


Dear sister or brother, if as in Bethlehem, the darkness of night overwhelms you, if the hurt you carry inside cries out "You are worthless", tonight God responds and tells you: “I love you just as you are. I became little for you. Trust me and open your heart to me".

sad As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, I hereby warn my fellow Christians that celebration of Christmas is a sin against God and the holy spirit. Jesus christ was not born on the 25th of December. It's a day of worship for pagan god. The Bible doesn't not encourage us to celebrate Christmas but to celebrate the sacrifice of our lord Jesus. Only Muslims are allowed to celebrate the birth of their Holy prophet Muhammad (Mawlid). I see so many Christians going to hell fire. If you are celebrating Christmas today, you have sinned against God and you are only serving mermon sad
As a devoted Muslim, i urge my Muslim family to be tolerant like the Christians, if Christians chose a day to celebrate their lord Jesus christ birthday, i dont see anything wrong with that. If only we Muslims will calm down and have happiness in our lives maybe we will have a reduced number of sadistic suicidal morons trying to blow up themselves and Christians anywhere they go. We Muslims need to learn alot from Christians.

There is no correlation between December 25th and the birthday of Jesus Christ.

Just do the festival, enjoy yourself and leave Jesus Christ out of the delusion.

Jesus Christ is the reason for the pleasant season. We must always remember this. The reason many people celebrate Christmas in a sinful way and ended up displeasing the God they should be celebrating, is because they never truly know the Person being celebrated today, as well as the true essence and purpose that brought about Christmas in the first place.

This beautiful season is beyond the noises - we must also take out time to reflect upon the great sacrifices made by the God-head just to see Christmas become a reality. Wisdom demands that we should always extract wisdom from the whole Christmas story. Here are five things we should be reminded of:

1. Christmas came because Jesus Christ decided to come to the earth to die for our sins and reconcile us back to God. After mankind fell in the Garden of Eden due to the sin of disobedience, we became miserable and terrible creatures. But God showed us mercy and decided to come down here in the form of human to offer His perfect blood as a sacrifice for our sins.

Hence, scripture says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

This is basically the reason Jesus Christ came. This is the summary of a true Christmas story. And anyone who believes in Jesus Christ becomes a new creature that would regain the life of God and the Authority which Adam and Eve lost in the garden of Eden.

2. Christmas reminds us that God still cares for us and is not giving up on mankind. God esteemed mankind very highly upon creating him - because He deposited in us things He didn't even give to Angels. Alas! We still messed up! Nevertheless, because He loves us and genuinely cares for us, He still came to the world on a Christmas day just to redeem us. Right now, while many humans are running away from having an intimate relationship with Him, He is still not giving up on them, but He still chases us with His love. Jesus is so Sweet and Amazing.

3. Christmas reminds us that it is possible to live a life that's above sin and death. Jesus Christ did that! He lived a pure perfect sinless life. It means we can also live a perfect holy life for God. It means we can live a life of dominion above sin, satan, death, hell, poverty, sickness, and anything negative. Don't settle for less!

4. Christmas reminds us that Jesus will come back again. There were prophecies that heralded His first coming - and they came to pass. He Himself prophesied that He will come back again to take His saints to Heaven. If Christmas could become a reality, rapture will become a reality too. Hence, wisdom demands that we live solely for God, forsaking sin and embracing holiness and righteousness in Christ Jesus.


5. Christmas reminds us of the need to celebrate with eternity in view and reciprocate God's love. Love brought Him here in the first place. To reciprocate His love, you have to give Him your entirety too. He gave you His all - make Him happy by giving Him your all too. That is, you have to love Him with all your heart and soul and body. You have to embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, and submit to the Rulership of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Christmas reminds us of the need to surrender our lives to Jesus. If you are yet to embrace Jesus as LORD and Saviour, do so right now. Simply ask Him to have mercy on you and to come into your life. Surrender your all to Him today. He deserves it.

The birth of God has always been in us. That's where Christ is, and that's the meaning of Christmas.

My brother these are all false teachings
Am a Christian too remember Christmas was man made, there's no link between Jesus coming to die for our sins and Christmas.

I want you pastors to leave the way things has been and follow the way things should be.

Remember the bible said no man or woman on no account should add or remove from the words of the holy book,

When and where was Christmas mentioned in the holy book?

There is no verse in the Bible where Jesus said Christmas is a sin so how can we just believe that Christmas is a sin. Celebrating Christmas is a personal choice, it is not a sin. All that matters is that Jesus was born.

Even if Jesus was not born on December 25, I don't see anything wrong with our decision to celebrate and acknowledge the existence of Jesus on December 25. Jesus will not send us to hell fire because of that, so people that don't want to celebrate Christmas should not celebrate Christmas and people that want to celebrate Christmas should celebrate Christmas.

Job 1:4
4. And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

Colossians 2:16
16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Romans 14:6
6. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
