John 5:33-36
There is Christmas because of LOVE.
This love comes from God.
God who loves us so sent his only Son, Jesus to save us.
God’s GIFT on Christmas is his Son.
God gives us what is most important to him, his precious Son.
The person he loves most, he offers it to us.
On Christmas we receive the greatest love the world has ever known.
What a wonderful present!
And we receive this love joyfully.
If we go back to the First Christmas,
The FIRST gift is based on relationships of the Trinity.
The First Gift is a person. The Gift of a person.
It was never about things we can buy and wrap as a gift.
If you are sad that you have nothing much to share this Christmas,
Don’t forget that the best gift you can give is yourself.
Stay and waste time with your parents. Help in household chores.
Watch with your children your favorite TV show. Hug each of them.
Play games and laugh with your siblings all day long.
And
To the person you hurt, text “sorry”.
To the person who begs your forgiveness, send a smiley .
To the person you miss so much, say “meet up ta!” Virtual lang.
This person may just be your father or mother, brother or sister.
To the rest of your friends, tell them “you are in my prayers”.
To the hungry, share even the little food that you have;
No person is so poor he has nothing to give.
Christmas is love. There is no other definition.
We are happy when we receive this love.
But let us be the one to offer this love first.
If we do this, Christmas will truly be meaningful and joyful!
