The Christmas season is the most joyful and beautyful time of the year; it comes in winter when the world seems in his darkest time, surely the coldest time of the season. While the days get shorter and colder, and the life of man seems in the darkest of the winter, all suddently Christiams come and all lights are up, changing completely the view of oyr eyes. Christmas it's all about Light!
Just when all seems dark and short, her comes the Light to cheer up everyone, giving a sense of magic time to the winter and the fullness of happyness with the Xmas decorations, presents, Xmas trees and our cities and homes getting that special impression of something Divine happening.
It's the Christmas celebration, that time of the year when God decided that was time for man to receive His Light and here we are, light is!God invented the Light and wanted to share this light with mankind, therefore God give us the Christiams celebration feast. Christmas is a Feast that came down on Earth from Heaven!For this reason on Christmas time there is atmosphere that does not sounds made by man, but decided and planned by God himself. There is a magic about Christmas that no man can remove.
Christmas is the decision of God, to give us "a sign" from Heaven, just like the prophet Isaiah foretold long time ago:
"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light ".
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Book of isaiah 9,6
Christians from all over the world celebrate this winter Feast for almost two weeks, and everyone is full of joy and hapyness; people exchange gifts in an attempt to share the sparks of the Divine Light to everyone around. We buy a green tree, symbol of Life and we decorate this tree with lots of beautiful lights, and under the tree we put the present we want to give out to someone we love and everyone that comes to visit our home. For Christmas we want everyone to share the joy and the happyness of God initiative to give us His Divine Light and share his Divine bright life with us. On Christmas time we celebrate that God-is with- us, with His Light and this is the reason of our happyness that comes from Heaven to Earth.
It was the prophet Isaiah that promised this gift to man, coming from God, directely from Heaven:
Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, “Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.”
But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.”
Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel, that means God-is with-us. Book of Isaiah 7,10
This is ther reason of the joy and happyness of 5 Billion of Christians all over the world, in almost every continent of the globe; this is the reason of the hope of the people that seem to have no hope. On Christiams we remember God's promises of a bright and joyful future, and celebrating the Xmas season, God's promise comes to life in the beutiful Festival of Lights on Xmas time.The Christmas season is a time of happyness, for people of every Nation and race, and in God's heart there is a desire to reach every man, every woman and every child with His Divine Light. If the essence of God is Light than, God's Light is meant to be for everyone. With Jesus of Nazareth, God wants to reach everyone.
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Book of Matthew 5,14
Jesus promised us that God's light will shine on us, and our life would be a sparke of the Divine Light to be shared with other that do not yet know Him. There is a good reason to follow Jesus teachings and Jesus way of life; to be light of God is the greatest gift God wants to deliver to mankind.
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”John 8,12
Jesus wants to give the Divine Light of God to everybody, and the Christimas celebration remind us all again, that God's Light it's available to everyone, starting from Xmas time, every day of our life. This year we repeat the miracle of God that came to stay with us, and guide our life, forever until the End of Times.
