WHY AND HOW SHOULD CHRISTMAS BE CELEBRATED




Christmas is a celebration in honor of the [physical] birth of Jesus Christ. Recall that Jesus Christ has been in existence before even the creation of the world. And God said let us make man in our own image, after our own likeness: and let them have dominion over,,,,,,,, (Genesis 1:26). In this verse 26, God the father here is referring to God the son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Ghost. Remember also that in John 1:1,, In the beginning was the word and the word was with God, and the word was God. All things were made by him,,,,, in him was life; and the life was the light of men. Verse 14 says, and the word was made flesh and dwelt among us,,,,

HUMILITY AND GREATNESS VS PRIDE AND DESTRUCTION (Part II)



Galatians 6:3, "For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself."

 Jesus Christ is the author and father of humility (Philippians 2: 5- 8) "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus Who, being in the form of  God, ,,,,,made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, ,,,,he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.'' ,,,,,,,,,. On the other hand devil is author and father of Pride (Isa. 14:12-14). “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!..… For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit also upon the mount … I will ascend above the heights…I will be like the most High”. 

HUMILITY AND GREATNESS VS PRIDE AND DESTRUCTION (Part 1)

JESUS THE SERVANT LEADER
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of  God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2: 5- 8

Humility equals greatness, the fastest road to greatness is humility. Many like me believes that pride is a sin associated with public bragging to seeing oneself better than others. Little did I know that arrogance goes beyond public bragging, so I was thinking am very humble and devoid of pride, until I understand what it take to be humble. Humility sees ones not in any way better than others, humility sees others weakness as part of life as no man without weakness. Humility goes beyond gentleness.
