Dear Friends,
Christmas will always be special! For many reasons: wonderful climate, soul stirring carols, a rich variety of cakes; churches, streets and shops lit up, travelling to be home and enjoying delicious food and many more. Christmas is definitely a time to celebrate.
However, Christmas is more than celebration. Christmas is to behold the final and perfect expression of God’s love for humanity. His love come down in His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus did not come with the power and pomp of a Crown Prince or as a Viceroy, a delegated ruler of the King or with a diplomatic immunity of an Ambassador. He came utterly vulnerable as a babe, born in a manger, grew up as an apprentice carpenter. Lived the way He wanted us to live; laid down His life that we may not have to die; rose again that we may live with Him forever.
Christmas is this and much more. Let us bow down and worship Him before we celebrate.
Every celebration assumes a new meaning when we bow down and worship Him. Have a blessed Christmas and wish you a peaceful new year.
Warmly in Christ,
Dr. Samson Gandhi
