“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. “ (John 14:17 King James Version)
How would it be like to have Christmas without Santa Claus or Saint Nicholas? How about celebrating Christmas without the reindeer, the Christmas tree, the Christmas lights and Christmas decors? Will Christmas be more meaningful minus the secular Christmas carols and all kinds of Christmas related parties? Will it be more joyous, happy and abundant if shopping and the food on the table is not our priorities? It's just some of the questions I have in mind as I think of the true meaning of Christmas. I'm very much sure they don't have those kind of things when Jesus was born.
My previous year’s experienced was totally different from this year. The top on our list to do and not to do for the coming years are different. My son Ej and I are already looking forward of celebrating next year’s Christmas day. We're always excited to celebrate Christmas. But no matter what our attitude may be this Christmas season; we must remember the name above all names- Jesus Christ the Savior of the world.
The Spirit of Christmas must be 24/7 or 365 days a year. May we don't leave the Spirit of Christmas on the table and in your unwrapped gifts. Keep it in your hearts as you keep the Lord’s commandment.
We can keep the Spirit of Christmas with God’s love and in our devotion to Him and Him alone. Let God’s Spirit dwell in you. (Ephesians 3:16- 17; Colossians 3:16)- By Ely Roque Sagansay
