TOPIC: Imagine A World Without Christmas
‭‭
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." Isaiah‬ ‭7:14‬‬

Message

Christmas is all about celebrating the birth of our LORD JESUS CHRIST the Redeemer and Savior of mankind. Without Jesus coming to the earth, the world will remain in a dark and brutal state

Remember, after Lucifer, who became satan, was condemned to the earth realm following his attempts to rebel against God, it was recorded that:
‭‭
"The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep." Genesis‬ ‭1:2‬‬

But it also revealed that: "The Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters", which is proof that God didn't ignore the world even in its unworthy state. Hence, God brought a solution to make right the wrong, "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light." Genesis‬ ‭1:3‬‬

You see what happened there? GOD introduced the Word to make things beautiful again! Now, Jesus is eternally known as the Word of God (John 1), and we can see that He has an expertise in making ugly terrible situations beautiful again.

So, after the sin of Adam and Eve (our first human parents in Eden), another ugly situation arose, plunging mankind into gross darkness, filled with all manner of evil and vices. But through Jesus Christ, all things became beautiful again:

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. [17] For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John‬ ‭3:16‭-‬17‬ ‭NKJV‬

So, a world without Christmas meant humanity would be forever doomed and would be slaves to sin, death, hell, satan, poverty, sickness, and other negative things. But, Hallelujah! Jesus gave the victory!

Are you experiencing some ugly and terrible situations in your life, or someone close to you? Introduce Jesus, He has expertise in turning unpleasant stuff into beautiful experiences!

If you are yet to submit to the Lordship of Jesus, this season is the best time to do so. Simply pray:

"LORD JESUS, I believe in my heart that You died for me and You raised on the third day for my justification. And so I confess with my mouth that You are my Lord and Savior. From today, I belong to the family of God. Thank You for giving me eternal life."

Prayer

Whatever is unpleasant around you, ask Jesus to make things right again.

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke‬19:10‬‬

Merry Christmas in advance

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.

Finally, never forget the true essence of Christmas.

Jesus came to the earth to redeem us back to God, to make us holy, perfect and acceptable to God.

All you have to do is to accept Him (Jesus) as Lord and Savior of your life, and you will be saved.

Jesus Christ is the Reason for the season. It is absurd to celebrate Christmas without making Him Lord of your life. It is absurd to celebrate Christmas in ways contrary to the will of Jesus Christ the Celebrant Himself.

1. Christmas wasn't mentioned by name in the Bible just as trinity!

2. Many so called big pastors has called it idolatrous!

3. Jesus spent about 33 years on earth and he didn't for once celebrated Christmas!

4. The Christmas tree and Santa are pathetic symbols of paganism!

There was no Christmas during Jesus's entire life on earth!

when you say that Jesus turns every ugly situation to something beautiful I guess you are trying to sound impressive by the use of such enticing words.when you have good knowledge or share a good relationship with Christ it will reduce your worldly desires and reveal to you the true knowledge of what righteous is then you will experience peace that only the Lord gives.1corinthians15v19- if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable

Okay

badspirit:


Jesus is king over your life.

Jesus's God Allah is king over all our life!

Jesus can die!
God doesn't!

Boring. Christmas is still the reason why some people remember home

.....will be so dull 😭😭😞

Christmas isn't biblical, it's a Roman empire's coordinated pagan event to rule and control the world and humanity,alongside their calendar year.



Roman empire was a very strong empire then.

AbuTwins:


Jesus's God Allah is king over all our life!

Jesus can die!
God doesn't!

Jesus died and resurrected on the third day......your Muhammad couldn't

Imagine

Christmas is Idol worshipping of the birth of Nimrod, the Sun god.

It has nothing to do with the birth of Yahshua Hamashak.

Stop being deceived.

Attendance: Present ✅️
One of my moralty in life is.,
Some stones are better left unturned.
Simple!

Edimakan:


Jesus died and resurrected on the third day......your Muhammad couldn't

Mohammed is human just like anyone else.
Jesus too is human and he didn't even die!

If Jesus did die and ressurect as you said then Israel would have been Christians!

But all that were the Roman lies you inherited!

It will be a peaceful world free from lies against the messenger of God.

So Jesus' birth is linked to all this...

The world would have been a much better place without Christmas and the fictions it reinforces

In my imagination of the world without (controversial) Christmas, controversial because I know some christians who don't celebrate it with their own reasons and in that world despite fuel subsidy removal, chicken prices isn't so high as we are experiencing now.

AbuTwins:
1. Christmas wasn't mentioned by name in the Bible just as trinity!

2. Many so called big pastors has called it idolatrous!

3. Jesus spent about 33 years on earth and he didn't for once celebrated Christmas!

4. The Christmas tree and Santa are pathetic symbols of paganism!

There was no Christmas during Jesus's entire life on earth!

You're here again, saying same thing I addressed you with, in the other thread. Hmmm!

STORY AS USUAL

Something else would take it's place.

Even before we were sold the Abrahamic faiths, we had our own days of jollification.

Oya stop imagination.
