You May Reject the Tradition of Christmas, But Don’t Turn Your Back on the Christ of CHRISTmas


“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11- He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12- But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” (John 1:10- 12 King James Version)


There are homeless people due to economic downturn, they lost their job, drugs and other personal related problems, or to some, it’s because of circumstances that were beyond their control. A homeless lady in Michigan who approached me while I was getting some exercise was asking for money so she could get a hot coffee or lunch. She was decent and nice. I asked her why she was in the street in a cold weather and why she was asking money from people. The lady started crying and said; “I was kicked out by my husband and children from my own home!” A woman who gave birth to beautiful children, nourished and took care of them, and then one day she came home from work and was met with these words; “We don’t need you here!” And they slammed the door right in her face.


It’s sad and tragic; but that’s what we did to God. God made the world and created men in His own image, He provided everything that we needed in this world before we were born. We rejected Him and slammed the door of our hearts to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. There are sad events, and sad verses in the Bible; but one of the saddest verses or Words in the Bible is in John 1:10- 11. Notice what Jesus said to every generations; “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20 KJV) -By Ely Roque Sagansay
