Celebrate God this Christmas!

A Christmas Reflection by Mrs Margaret Chan, EAST Partners-in-Ministry Program Director

There are quite a number of Christian platforms advertising Christmas concerts for our viewing on Youtube over the Christmas season. There are also Christian choirs giving online performances via zoom platform. Churches all over the world will conduct Christmas services on Christmas day. These are joyous ways to proclaim the Christmas message to the public, for viewers to enjoy performances and for worshippers to rejoice over the Christmas message being proclaimed.

Abba Father sent Jesus into this world as a tiny baby not just for us to celebrate Christmas once a year, in merry making and giving of gifts. Abba Father sent Christ into this world to become the Saviour of sinners so that we can be reconciled to Him and become His beloved children.

There is a simple way for us to celebrate Christmas that we should not overlook. Perhaps this is the most important way. We need to celebrate Christmas with the Persons who brought on Christmas. We need to take personal time to commune with Jesus and Abba Father who sent Jesus Christ into this world as a tiny baby born in the manger.

Let us take time this Christmas to have special personal time with our Lord Jesus and Abba Father. Let us journal our conversation with Jesus and Abba Father as we commemorate the First Christmas. That, I think, would be a very special journal entry for us to treasure!
