Hope

When I think of Christmas the first word I think of is hope. Everyone needs hope. The Bible says there is a “… hope stored up for you in heaven” (Colossians 1:5). God made heaven for you and me. Heaven is the place where we can live forever with God. In heaven there is no pain, no sadness, no sickness and no death. Heaven is a wonderful place. When I think of Christmas I think of Heaven.

Peace

The second word that I think of at Christmas is Peace. The Bible says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” (Colossians 3:15). Peace is the calm quiet feeling we have when we know we are safe and everything is ok. Sin can steal our peace. Sin is anything we think, say or do that disobeys God. Sin separates us from God and removes our peace. The Bible says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). God does not want us to be separated from Him and has made a way to restore our peace.

Joy

The third word that means Christmas to me is Joy. The Angel said to the shepherds, “I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people” (Luke 2:10). The angel went on to tell the shepherds about Jesus. At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Jesus was born in a stable, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again from the dead, in the hope that we would have joy and peace.

Love

The last word that means Christmas to me is love. The Bible says that, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). God loves us and sent Jesus to pay the price for our sin. What will you do with God’s Christmas gift to us, His son Jesus. We can find hope, peace, joy and love when we receive God’s gift to us.

The Bible says, “To all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).

To receive Jesus is as simple as A,B,C:

A—Admit that you are a sinner.

B—Believe on Jesus as Savior.

C—Choose Jesus to be your Savior.

To receive Jesus right now, pray this prayer with me: “Dear God, I admit that I am a sinner, I believe in Jesus and want Jesus to live in my heart and forgive my sin. In Jesus Name, Amen.”

Happy Birthday! Now that you have asked Jesus to be your savior you too are a child of God.
