Time to Celebrate

Scripture Reading Isaiah 9: 6-7; Matthew 1: 21-23

It is another time of the year when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, and we exchange greetings among ourselves. Many do it out of instinct. Many do it for some other reasons. Many refuse to do it for they see no reason for doing it. Some avoid the use of some words in their greetings. Some will not celebrate because they do not agree with the timing. However, we all should celebrate because the birth of Jesus Christ is synonymous with the coming of the Kingdom of God. (John 3: 34-36) The Jews were expecting a Messiah who would take over the reign of government from the Roman Authority, and deliver them from oppression. In the spiritual realm, the Devil was in control and tormenting people. But when the Son of Man arrived, he confronted the Pharisees and admonished them. He confronted principalities, demons and forces of darkness. He brought deliverance, healing, grace and salvation, and victory for all. He paid the wages of sin (death). No more an eye for an eye. (Mosaic Law) The government was on his shoulders (Isaiah 9: 6) His name is Immanuel, which means “God with us”. Brothers and sisters, it is good to celebrate Jesus. Celebrate Him everyday! I wish you happy celebration and more blessed years in His kingdom. You may pray these
