Just For You I

‘This is real love – not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins’ 1John 4:10

The All-Powerful God became helpless, at the “mercy” of Joseph and Mary, the amateur parents. Secondly, God came as a human being because man messed up and man had to fix it up. God became a human being because it will take man to put straight what man messed up. Christmas is such a big deal because of the relevance of Christmas. Christ, God came to earth and became a man. The Bible puts it this way; ‘For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin’ Heb.4:15 [NKJV]. Jesus understands the pressure you are going through. Jesus understands what it means to be harassed by demons, to be tempted by the devil. But He overcame and you will overcome in Jesus Name. The relevance of Christmas is that God came to earth to become a man, not a superior being, just a man.

Christmas is a big deal because of the reason for Christmas. The reason for Christmas is God came for you! You need to pause and let that sink in. Say aloud, God came for me. In the first two years of secondary school, I went to boarding school. In that school, everything was military style and it was like torture for us. So we always looked forward to the visiting day. Visiting day is the day our parents come to see us and bring provisions and refreshments [from heaven]. Thinking back now reinforces the fact that my mother is just a fantastic woman. Inspite of all the challenges she had, and she had a lot of challenges, she hardly ever missed visiting day. I remember one particular visiting day, by this time my brother had graduated and I was alone in the school with all his enemies. I was there waiting and all the parents were arriving, all the cars were leaving, and nobody came for me. So while everyone else was celebrating their new supplies, I was alone alarmed by the fact that no one came for me. I felt lonely, abandoned, and rejected. And I went to my room with a plan to steal provisions. I was not saved at the time so relax. But the key thing here is the way I felt that day is the feeling a lot of people are struggling with consistently. Guess what, the truth is Jesus came for you. You don’t need to stand wondering at this visiting day so to speak because Jesus came for you.

Prayer [song]: Thank You Jesus, for the grace that You have given me. I can never repay You but from my heart, I’d like to say that I thank You.
