New life, Peace and Heaven?
The world seeks 'Good health, Peace, and Prosperity and at times does not care how they get it!
But we already have it, if we are Born-Again, we are reassured of our faith and salvation, we have the peace of Jesus in our hearts and we know that a home is waiting in Heaven for us!
The world on the other hand has no security, it has a elusive peace and an insecure future?
So what are you waiting for now that you know these truths, confess repent and seek Jesus as the Lord of your life!
Amos 5:4, John 14:2-3, 27, Romans 7:6, Hebrews 9:28.

Persecution!
The cost of being a Christian?
We tend to think of Stephen the first martyr of the Church which is mentioned in Acts 6:8-7:60, but we forget that the baby Jesus with His Earthly parents to had to take off in the middle of the night!
An Angels warned the wise men to return another way, while also telling Joseph to go down to Egypt until Herod's term was ended!
So we can see many pictures about human life from the Christmas story and that we will be persecuted and attacked for our simple faith in the death, resurrection and return of Jesus our Lord and Saviour!
Matthew/Levi 2:11-15, Hosea 11:1.

CHRISTMAS? Two.
Intercourse!
Many may find this a vile way to describe the miraculous conception of Jesus the God-Man into humanity, but this is how the Holy Spirit entered into Mary without breaking her waters!
We have to believe by faith in a God that we know exists, but we cannot see Him?
Yet we believe because we know that it is only He who can change us from what we were to who we are now, bad or all right to, 'I know I am a sinner saved by grace or by His favour!
Our salvation is Spiritual, so was the conception and birth of Jesus!
Luke 1:35, 37, Matthew 19:26, Philippians 3:21, Genesis 18:14.

CHRISTAMS ? One.
The authority of JESUS!
We are not marking the birth of any baby each Christmas, but that of a King and one with the ultimate authority THE KING OF KINGS!
He is not passing down the authority of man, police, judges, courts, gang leaders, vigilantes?
He has the authority over our soul, where will we be Heaven or Hell!
We have choices to make, if we have not already made them, we also have to the choice to witness to family and relatives about Jesus as the KING?
Numbers 24:17, Psalm 2:9, Isaiah 14:5, Hebrews 1:8, Jude 1:11, Revelation 2:27, 12:5.

Aspects of Christmas? Three.
Debt!
Today many people in the western world are in debt and Christmas has been known to the biggest problem with the easy way to get credit!
Both the lure and the temptation to have nice things for the children and ones self is very hard to resist and thus when the time comes in six months to pay up, there is no money?
The other problem with debt, is going bankrupt, it may clear some if not all depending on the amount, but it leaves you marked as a debtor for life!
This will cause many problems for some in getting even a bank card or proper account, while also being refused a loan and many other unforeseen aspects in the financial world!
God wants us to be sensible people, trusting him rather than wanting the things of this world! One will hear many different takes on this, with some Church leaders dismissing it, as they know better?But we have really at the end of the day stay with what God wants for us and that is always the best!
Matthew 6:12, 18:24, 25:15-28, Proverbs 22:26, Luke 7:42.
