Any celebration about the advent of our Lord and Savior in the earth should pivot on the fact that without God's love for the people of the world His Son would not have been sent. Without the love for people, the baby is never born and the Son is never given.

We cannot add to God's majesty by devout worship or to His strength by a show of majority. He is not like the dead gods of the world that require human effort to remain relevant. He is and there has never been a threat to His being.

So in this time, no matter how or if we celebrate the appearing of our Lord, ask the Living God:

How do I become the joy in the world?
How do I become the light of men?
Do I know that I am a child of God?

The answers make us ministers of this work of God. For Jesus did not remain Jesus the man; he died and arose as Christ Jesus, the firstborn among many, the source of the spirits of just men made perfect. By this effort of God we are sanctified to the Living God as His children. And as children of God we represent the appearing of Christ in the world.

This season is not about the baby in a manger. It is about God's plan to reconcile, to bring back into His original intent, the lives of men. By this we become the light of the world.

This season is about Christ in us, the hope of glory.

Calling men to represent Him separates the Living God, our Father, from all other gods. The fact that Christ lives through the flesh of the sanctified is part of the gospel of God.

The confession that "...Jesus Christ is come in the flesh..." is of God.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”


Do you see it? It is about Him in you (if indeed He is in you): the children of God.

It is because of His love for us that the season can be celebrated.

Merry Christmas

God Father first, above everything else. Then one can do as led to do freely, without any excuses, accusations or abuses to anyone Romans 2:1-4.
God's Love 1 Cor 13:4-7, I have got given me and am learning daily, Just love as are loved by God through Son first. Remain there humbly, thank you. Father and Son as Won (One) for us all to become 100% dependent on Yahweh alone, the same as Son revealed to us all in his walk here on earth in flesh and blood
I do or say nothing without Father's lead. Is to time to learn this truth for each person too?
Notice everyday in his walk here on earth, he went out and prayed first, to get his instructions for that day, each day he did that.

Mark 1:34-38

New International Version

34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.
Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”

Notice, in the passages above, the disciples wanted Jesus to go back where they were the day before, people excited. yet, Jesus remained faithful to Father, and already had gotten his instructions for that day and went forward, not backwards
Listen to God from within us each personally and hear and do as led as well each day too. Not of the self or others in charge here on earth. We each know truth to only listen from within to God telling us truth Thank you Lord
 
Ephesians 5:14-21

14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
