CHRISTMAS HECTICRAMA

CHRISTMAS HECTICRAMA
Wednesday, December 20, 2017

   Luke 2:13-14 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
   John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
   Romans 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [“in Christ” is 78 times in KJV NT. If interested, just ask and I’ll send you the entire list of verses.]

  Depending on our personality and worldview Christmas can be very stressful, a hectic scene, a time of confusion and anxiety.
  I believe this is the result of misbegotten expectations, looking for peace in all the wrong places.
  Hectic-rama: using paraphernalia the working at trying to create a time of joy and peace on earth; “earth” for most spelled “family”.
  Hectic-rama is easily recognized. It is fleeting life-piece apart from abiding life-peace that Christ-worship, adoration with trust of and in Him alone provides.
  Enjoy Christmas, please do, especially as time with loved ones.
  Do not however let Christ-mas pass as a season, for He alone is life. (Lk.4:4; Jn.14:6)
