PERSONAL RESURRECTION: The Forever Christmas Gift
Jesus declared “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. … For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” [John chapter 3]
The Biblical
answer to the question “Is it possible to have an authentic Christmas without
Biblically personal resurrection?” is no, we cannot have an authentic Christmas
(Christ-worship) without personal resurrection as provided by the John 1:1 Word
of God; He that began His life here in a stable manger and finished it on a
cruel cross.
As with all
things in genuine relationship with God, Christmas is a John 1:12 family
matter. Outsiders may look, but they cannot really see.
Jesus explained
this to Nicodemus and for all to know hereafter in reading the record;
individuals must gain new life in order to see clearly God’s kingdom present
and future. (Jn.3:1-21)
As recorded,
Paul, a dynamic follower of Christ, explained this rebirth to the congregation
in Ephesus. (Eph.2:1-22)
If you have not
gained His new sight through trust in Him, I encourage you to this day to
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and receive His gift of present and eternal
redemption and all it entails, including Christmas joy beyond this world’s
norm.
