Christmas See Vertical - People who are not Christians might be surprised even confused when noticed, Christmas celebrations are marked by eating-eating hijinks, even up to drunkenness. For many people Christmas as a holiday, so it was time to relax, vacation, leisure and so on. Moment of Christmas not being a moment longer missioner, where Christ is preached as God and Savior of the world. Very different from the Magi, who are truly aware of the meaning of Christmas, they worship him with your heart rejoice. Physical fatigue due to travel far enough, as if forgotten due to meet Jesus. Same is the case with the shepherds witnessed the birth of Christ, when they praise and exalt God.. (Lk 2:20). The song of the angels who said, "glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men is acceptable to him", has brought great joy to them.
How many Christians who praise and worship the Lord Jesus Christ in the modern world right now? Is there an atmosphere of praise and
worship still sounds and looks? The answer is still no, but maybe only a few people. There are still those Christians who are aware and understand what it means Christmas. Perhaps they don't have the money to buy new clothes. They don't have anything except the heart that truly serve to glorify the Lord. There are faithful Christians may live in rickety Shack, under the space under the bridge, not enough food, but from there it still sounds there is a prayer of praise and Thanksgiving. While elsewhere, the mood was so festive, there is abundant food, all paced sparkly, but dark and frozen hearts, no praise. Let us pray that the more people who are blind and lost, can see God's plan in Christ are beautiful and noble.
Motivation: Celebrate Christmas with prioritizing the relationship and harmonious communion with Christ, the Lord.
