What does Christmas mean to you? Here is a way to clarify and maybe teach you, or whoever takes the time to read this, somethings you might not have known. Or knew and this can be just a reminder of what the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ really was. After researching, reading and asking questions, I find it hard to believe that Jewish Leaders, at the time of Christ's birth, failed to see the prophecies of the Old testament fulfilled to the letter. The only conclusion I can see is that they were too afraid of losing control and too arrogant to believe God was to make Jews and Gentiles equal and give salvation to ALL mankind. To deny who Jesus really was, after reading this, would be really difficult. Unless of course you have no understanding of anything that is written in the Old Testament and just go on blind faith of something told to you by man. ... {ADMIN EDIT: copyrighted text removed -- but please read the information posted on this website before continuing to read this post!! ~ Peace} ... So think hard who and what you choose to believe. Man? Or the WORD of GOD. (The Bible) May the Spirit of the One Almighty God and Savior Jesus Christ be in your hearts and minds and never forget what this Christian Holyday is really about. Shalom ~ CJ

awesome post CJ.... thank you for taking the time to share this. i believe it will be a blessing to all who read. i love the confidence in Him i see in you.
as i was reading, when i got to this:
... i could not help but think of how backward the world really has things. it made me think of Jesus' teaching when here on earth that we were to be servants... to those who the world rejected. yea, those who have nothing and can not repay you; when we reach out to them, we are ministering to Christ. the way up really is down and we have things so backward.
thanks again for the thought provoking essay and may God continue to bless you and give you strength and wisdom. Merry Christmas little brother!
