And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true. (1 John 5:20)
Today we have entered the last month of the year, we have entered the best time of the year the Christmas time. Christmas is not merely the story of a baby in a manger — it is the celebration of the Son of God who came to give us understanding. Without revelation from God, a man can hear about Jesus and yet never truly know Him. Human reasoning cannot discover God; it is only when the Spirit opens our eyes that we behold Him as Father, Saviour, Lord and Life. The gift of understanding is a Christmas gift that transforms destinies.
When Jesus appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, He breathed on them and opened their understanding. The world saw a crucified Man — but they saw the Lord of Glory, the Resurrection and the Life. This same Spirit has been poured out upon us. It is the same Holy Spirit who gives us insight into Scriptures, the knowledge of God, and the ability to walk with Him.
Christmas reminds us that God didn’t leave us in darkness to search for Him blindly — He revealed Himself. He gave us His Word, His Spirit and His understanding. Today He calls us not to pursue religion, but relationship; not simply a season of celebration, but a lifetime of fellowship. So celebrate this season with the right reason.
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank You for sending Lord Jesus to give me supernatural understanding. Thank you for opening my eyes to know You more deeply. Your Spirit floods my heart with revelation and insight every day. I refuse to live by human wisdom — I live by the light of Your Spirit. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
