And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
(Romans 8:30)
Christmas is far more than the remembrance of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; it is the celebration of God’s eternal purpose for humanity. From the beginning, God desired fellowship with man, and He fulfilled this desire by sending Jesus as the Mediator between Himself and us. Romans 8:30 beautifully reveals the heart of Christmas—God predestined us for oneness with Him, called us through Christ, justified us by imparting His righteousness, and glorified us by making us His children, partakers of His life and heirs of His eternal glory.
Man was once lost, empty, and separated from God, yet God considered mankind precious. Through Jesus, He brought us out of darkness into His marvellous light. This is the true meaning of Christmas. What was once impossible is now available to all—anyone, anywhere, can step into God’s light by receiving the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Now the poor can declare they are rich, the weak can say they are strong, the sick can proclaim they are healed, the bound can rejoice in freedom, and the addicted can testify of deliverance. All this has been made possible through Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas, dear brothers and sisters! This is a message worth celebrating, proclaiming, and declaring boldly. Go and tell it everywhere—make known how deeply God has loved us and what He has accomplished for us through Jesus. Do not keep silent. Let Christmas become meaningful in the life of someone who needs hope today.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank You for the Christmas of my life. You chose me, predestined me, called me, justified me, and glorified me. I am deeply blessed, and You have made me a blessing, a light, an answer, and a voice of hope to my world. I love You, and I boldly proclaim Your love and goodness to all, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
