Christmas difference between Christmas religion and Biblical revelation.

Many of you asked, "If Halloween has pagan roots, what about Christmas? 

Should Christians celebrate it? 

Is it truly a holy day or is it another pagan tradition dressed up in Christian language? 

I've read every single comment and I've prayed over this topic. And after many days of seeking the Lord, I believe today's message will bring light, clarity, and peace to your heart. 

Because this sermon is not about arguing over holidays. 

It's about seeing how God redeems what the world once distorted. 

The enemy loves to confuse God's people. 

He wants you to question what is sacred, to doubt what is beautiful, to turn celebration into suspicion. 

But God wants to open your eyes.

 He wants you to see how his hand has always been at work, even through history, even through culture, pointing back to one eternal truth. 

Jesus Christ is Lord of all. 

Every December, Christians across the world face the same question.

Should we celebrate Christmas? 

Some say it's just a family holiday. 

Others say it's rooted in paganism and believers should reject it. 

And many simply don't know what to think.

 So before we jump to conclusions, let's pause and ask the question that truly matters. 

What does Christmas really celebrate?

Is it a pagan ritual? 

Or is it the story of divine redemption of God   stepping into human history to save us from sin and death? 

That's the question we're going to answer together. 

Now, I want you to read and listen carefully. 

Christmas is not about a date. It's about an event.

 It's not about December 25th. 

 It's about what happened in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago when the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

That's John 1:14. 

And that's the heart of Christmas. 

The miracle of the incarnation, God becoming man, is the center of our faith. 

And no amount of historical debate can erase that truth. 

So, let's start where the Bible begins with the birth of Jesus Christ. 

Luke 2:8 tells us, "There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 

That simple detail gives us an important clue. 

Shepherds in Judea did not stay in the open fields during the cold, rainy winter months. They brought their sheep into shelter from November through February, which means most likely Jesus was not born in December at all. 

Many biblical scholars believe his birth took place sometime in spring, perhaps around March or April when the weather was mild and flocks could safely graze outside. 

So yes, the Bible gives us good reason to believe that Jesus wasn't born on December 25th. 

But the question isn't when was he born, the question is why did he come?

 And that's the difference between religion and revelation.

Religion argues over dates. Revelation transforms hearts. 

God didn't preserve the date of Christ's birth. 

He preserved the meaning. 

Because he doesn't want us to worship a day. 

He wants us to worship his son. 

If the date was essential, he would have included it in scripture. 

But he didn't. 

Instead, he gave us the story, the announcement, the angelic song, the shepherds in the night, the child wrapped in swaddling clothes. 

Why? 

Because he wanted us to see who was born, not when. 

The angels didn't say, "Mark your calendars. This is December 25th." 

They said, "Unto you is born this day a Saviour who is Christ the Lord." 

The miracle defines the day, not the other way around. The day does not define the miracle. 

So when people argue we don't know the exact day so we shouldn't celebrate at all. They miss the point entirely. 

Jesus Christ defines Christmas, not Christmas defines him. 

One relevant Bible verse is Romans 14:5, which states that "one person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind." This verse emphasizes the importance of personal conviction regarding the significance of each day.

God is not limited to dates. 

Every day belongs to him. 

Every day is holy when his presence fills it. 

And that's the first lesson of Christmas. 

God sanctifies moments, not calendars. 

When heaven opened over Bethlehem and the angels declared peace on earth, it didn't matter what month it was. 

What mattered was that redemption had come.

 

 Now, let's ask the next question. 

If Jesus was not born on December 25th, then why do Christians celebrate on that day? 

To answer that, we need to look back into history, not to attack it, but to understand how God works through it. 

By the 4th century, Christianity had spread across the Roman Empire. 

The world of that time was filled with pagan rituals, idol worship, and seasonal festivals. 

Among them was Saturnalia, a Roman feast honoring the god Saturn, celebrated around mid December. 

It was a time of feasting, gift giving, and social disorder. 

Another celebration was Sol Invictus, the unconquered sun held near the winter solstice.

 When the days began to grow longer,  pagans celebrated the rebirth of the sun, the return of light after the darkest night of the year. 

When the early church emerged in this environment. the question was not early church emerged in this environment, the question was not how can we join them. 

It was how can we confront them? 

Christians didn't adopt pagan worship. 

They redeemed the season to proclaim a greater truth. 

They said, "You celebrate the sun that rises and sets. 

We celebrate the SON of God who never fades." 

In the year 336 AD under the Roman Emperor Constantine, the church designated December 25th as the official day to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. 

Not because they believed that was his actual birthday, but because they wanted to proclaim his incarnation during the very season when the world was celebrating false light. 

 It was a bold statement. It was a confrontation, not a compromise. 

The early believers were saying, "We will not worship the sun. We will worship the One who made it. 

We wil not bow to creation. We will glorify the Creator. 

John 1:9 declares, "The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world." 

That was their message. 

In a world of darkness and deception, they used that time of year to preach the true light, Jesus Christ. 

Do you see the difference? 

Christmas was not borrowed from paganism. 

It was a declaration against paganism. 

When the world celebrated the unconquered sun, 

Christians proclaimed the unconquered SON. 

That's the real story behind December 25th. 

Now, some believers today are afraid of that history. 

They think if pagans ever touched it, it must be evil. 

But my friend, listen carefully. 

If that were true, then the cross itself could never be used again. 

Because before Jesus died on it, the crucifixion on a cross was a Roman instrument of torture. 

It was the most shameful, painful form of death imaginable. 

But what did God do? 

He took that symbol of horror and made it the greatest symbol of hope. 

If God can redeem the cross, he can redeem a date.

 If God can redeem the grave, he can redeem a holiday. 

Our God does not hide from darkness. He invades it with light. 

And that is exactly what the early church did. 

They didn't imitate the world. 

They illuminated it. 

They didn't copy pagan rituals. 

They declared Christ's victory over them. 

When you understand that, you begin to see that the story of biblical Christmas is not about compromise. 

It is about conquest. 

The triumph of truth over lies, light over darkness, and grace over sin. 

You might be wondering, "But isn't it safer to just reject all of it? The tree, the gifts, the date, and avoid misunderstanding." 

You can, of course, but ask yourself this. 

What message are we sending when we surrender every cultural space to the world? 

God didn't call his people to hide. 

He called them to shine. 

The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 2:15, "You are to shine as lights in the world. That is your calling."

 So instead of running from the world, shine in it. 

Instead of arguing about dates, proclaim the truth about Jesus Christ. 

Instead of letting culture define Christmas, let the church display Christ. 

That is what the early believers did. 

And that is what you and I must do today. 

The world around you may celebrate Christmas without understanding it, but you know the real story. 

You know that the child in the manger is the Son of God-Creator of heaven and earth. 

You know that the light on the tree points to the Light of the world. 

You know that the gift-giving represents the greatest Gift ever given, God's SON for our salvation. 

So instead of allowing cynicism to rob your worship, let God's biblical revelation restore your joy. 

Every song, every decoration, every candle can become an opportunity to glorify God if your heart is centered on him. 

Christmas, my friend, was never meant to drain your wallet. 

It was meant to fill your soul. 

It's not about presents under a tree. 

It's about God's presence in your life. 

And when you understand that, the entire season takes on a new meaning. 

You begin to see December 25th not as a borrowed festival but as a redeemed opportunity. 

A moment in history when the church chose to proclaim the true light has come and darkness cannot overcome it. 

Now let me close this first part with a simple truth to carry into your heart.

Christmas is not about how it began in history. It's about what it declares eternally. 

It declares that God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. 

It declares that light has conquered darkness. 

It declares that redemption has come. 


And as we move into the next part of this message, we're going to look deeper into how God transformed even the symbols, the tree, the star, the gifts, the traditions, and gave them new meaning in Christ. 

Because the story doesn't end with the date. 

The story continues with the divine redemption of every symbol that once belonged to the world but now belongs to the saviour. 

So stay with me and in our next section we'll uncover how Christmas far from being pagan has always pointed to one eternal truth that Jesus Christ the light of the world has come. 

My friend let me begin with a question. 

When you look around at the symbols of Christmas,   the tree, the lights, the star, the gifts, what do you see? 

Do you see superstition or do you see salvation?

Do you see pagan tradition or do you see divine transformation? 

Because how you see Christmas determines how you celebrate it. 

The enemy has always been a deceiver. 

He twists what God has made beautiful and calls it corrupted. 

But God in his mercy takes what was once distorted and makes it holy again. 

That's the story of redemption. 

And that's the story behind every true symbol of Christmas. 

In our last message, we learned that the early church didn't borrow pagan festivals. 

It confronted them with truth. 

It didn't imitate the world. It illuminated it. 

And in this part, I want us to look closely at the common symbols of Christmas to see how God has redeemed them, how he has rewritten their meaning, and how each one still points to Christ. 

Because the question we should be asking is not where did it start, but who does it glorify now

Let's begin with the one symbol most often misunderstood, the Christmas tree.

Many people say, "Didn't the Christmas tree come from paganism? 

Isn't it idolatry to bring a tree into your house and decorate it?" 

Let's go to scripture because that's where truth is found. 

Jeremiah 10:24 says, "Do not learn the way of the nations, for the customs of the peoples are worthless. 

They cut down a tree from the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. 

They adorn it with silver and gold. 

They fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. 

Now, some people stop there and say, "See, that's Christmas trees." 

But if you read carefully, Jeremiah is not condemning decoration. 

He's condemning idol worship, the act of carving a tree into a god, bowing before it, and praying to it. 

That's idolatry. 

The Christmas tree in your home is not an idol, unless your heart makes it one. 

It's not sin to decorate a tree. It's sin to worship it. 

So, let's go back to history. 

Yes, long before Christianity, some ancient cultures used evergreen trees to symbolize life during winter.

 But when Christianity spread across Europe, believers saw something more profound in the evergreen, a picture of eternal life. 

While every other tree lost its leaves in winter, the evergreen remained green. 

A living reminder that life can endure through death. 

What a perfect image of Jesus Christ who conquered death and lives forever. 

In fact, Martin Luther, the great reformer of the 16th century, is said to have been the first to add lights to a Christmas tree. One night as he walked home through a snowy forest, he saw the stars shining through the branches of evergreens and thought, "That's what it must have looked like on the night Christ was born, the light of heaven piercing through the darkness." 

He brought a small tree into his home, placed candles on its branches, and told his children, "See, my children, this tree points to Christ. 

Its evergreen branches remind us of eternal life and its light reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world.

What a beautiful testimony. 

You see, the tree itself has no power. 

It's not good or evil. 

It's a symbol and symbols get their meaning from the message they serve. 

The question is not whether the tree once had a pagan meaning. 

The question is what does it mean to you now? 

If it points you to Christ, it glorifies God. 

If it distracts you from Christ, it becomes an idol. 

Satan twists symbols, but God redeems them. 

When you stand before your Christmas tree this year, don't see it as a pagan object. 

See it as a sermon in wood and light. 

See it as a reminder that Jesus, nailed to a wooden cross, gave you eternal life. 

See it as a declaration that even in the dead of winter, life in Christ never fades. 

The evergreen preaches the gospel. 

Life that never ends, love that never fails, and light that never dies. 


Let's talk about the lights of Christmas. 

Some people would say the use of lights began with pagan sun worship when people lit fires or candles during the winter solstice to help the sun return. 

That may be historically true, but here's the greater truth. 

Jesus came to fulfill what pagans could only imitate. 

John 1:5 says, "The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it." 

Every candle that burns, every light that glows can remind you of this one reality that Jesus is the light of the world. 

The darkness feared him. 

The devil tried to extinguish him, but on the third day, the tomb was empty and the light still shone. 

You see, God often uses what people once used for darkness to demonstrate his glory. 

In ancient times, pagans lit fires to keep the night away. 

But now every light we place on our homes, our trees, our streets tells the story that the true light has come and darkness has been defeated. 

There's a reason light appears over and over in scripture. 

From the pillar of fire that led Israel to the burning bush that called Moses to the star over Bethlehem, light is the that called Moses to the star over Betnlehem, light is the language of God's presence. 

So when you plug in your Christmas lights, remember they aren't just decoration, they're proclamation. 

They say to every passer by the light still shines. 

When you light a candle, whisper this prayer. 

Lord Jesus, you are my light. May your presence shine through me this season. 

Because my friend, Christmas is not just about the light that came 2,000 years ago. 

It's about the light that still shines today in you. 

'Light' in the the Bible, click here .


Now, let's look at the star. 

Matthew chapter 2 tells us that wise men from the east saw his star and followed it all the way to Bethlehem. 

That star was not astrology. It was divine guidance. 

It was heaven's announcement that the king had come. 

The wise men didn't worship the star. They followed it. 

And where did it lead them? Straight to Jesus. 


In that same way, every time you see a star decorates on top of a Christmas 🎄 tree or hanging from a window, let it remind you of this truth. 

 Real wisdom is still found in those who seek him. God still uses signs to lead his people. 

 Not signs in the sky, but signs in your heart.

 Moments when his Spirit nudges you, whispers to you, says, "This is the way. Walk in it." 

The wise men didn't find Jesus by accident. 

They followed light until it brought them to truth. 

That's what faith does.

 So this year, when you see that star shining above your home, remember what it means. 

God still guides. 

God still leads. 

And if you follow the light he gives, it will always lead you to his Son. 

The star is not pagan. 

It's prophetic. 

It points not to superstition but to salvation. 


Finally, let's talk about the gifts. 

 Some say gift giving at Christmas is materialistic and yes, it can be if the focus is on things. 

But in its purest form, giving is one of the most beautiful ways to reflect the heart of God. 

Matthew 2:1 says. "The wise men of God opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold. Frankincense and myrr. 

Each gift was symbolic. 

Gold represented royalty. Jesus is the King of kings. 

Frankincense represented divinity. He is God in the flesh.

 Myrrh represented sacrifice. He was born to die for the sins of the world. 

So when you give a gift in love with gratitude and joy, you are participating in that same spirit of worship. 

You're not imitating the world. 

You're imitating God who so loved the world that he gave his only SON. 

The world gives to impress others. Christians give to bless others. 

That's why l often say, don't measure your Christmas by how much you spend, but by how much you share. 

 A gift doesn't have to be expensive to be meaningful. 

A word of encouragement, a prayer for someone hurting, a meal for a neighbor, forgiveness for an enemy. 

These are gifts heaven recognizes. 

 Because the greatest gift ever given was not wrapped in paper. It was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. 

That's the gift that changed eternity. 

That's the gift that keeps giving. 


You see, my friend, Satan can twist symbols, but God can redeem them. 

The devil can only imitate. 

He can't create. 

He takes what God made for good and corrupts it. 

But redemption reverses the curse. Grace restores the glory. 

The Christmas tree, the lights, the star, the gifts. 

They don't belong to the devil. 

They belong to God now. 

The question isn't where did they start? 

The question is who do they glorify now? 

If your Christmas points to Jesus Christ, it glorifies God. 

If it draws attention to materialism or self, then it's lost its purpose. 

 But when you stand before that tree and thank God for eternal life, when you turn on the lights and remember that Jesus is the light of the world, when you place the star on top and remember the God who still guides you. 

When you give a gift with love because he first gave to you then  your Christmas becomes worship. 

That's what brother Paul meant when he said in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "Whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God." 

Even the simplest tradition can become holy when your heart is surrendered to him. So let this season remind you that God still transforms. 

 He takes symbols of winter and fills them with warmth. 

He takes traditions of man and turns them into testimonies of grace. 

And that's the miracle of Christmas. 

Not that we have lights and trees and stars, but that every one of them can point to a savior who redeems all things. 

Because when Jesus came, he didn't just redeem souls. 

He redeemed meaning itself.

 And as we prepare to move into the next part of this message, we'll look at the heart of Christmas,   the incarnation itself, the God who left his throne to dwell among us. 

The Word who became flesh, the Creator who entered his creation. 

Because beyond every symbol, beyond every decoration, stands that changed eternity. 

That's the gift that keeps giving. 

You see, my friend, Satan can twist symbols, but God can redeem them. 

The devil can only imitate. He can't create. 

He takes what God made for good and corrupts it. 

But redemption reverses the curse. 

Grace restores the glory. 

The Christmas tree, the lights, the star, the gifts. 

They don't belong to the devil. 

They belong to God now. 

The question isn't where did they start? 

The question is who do they glorify now? 

If your Christmas points to Jesus, it glorifies God. 

If it draws attention to  materialism or self, then it's lost its purpose. 

But when you stand before that tree and thank God for eternal life, when you turn on the lights and remember that Jesus is the light of the world, when you place the star on top and remember the God who still guides you. 

 When you give a gift with love because he first gave to you, then that changed the greatest truth of all. 

That God so loved the world, he gave himself. 

That is the real meaning of Christmas. 

And that is where we'll go next. 

My reader-friend, let me begin this final part with something simple but deeply personal. 

Have you ever had a moment where you looked at your life and whispered, "God, where are you? Do you see me?" 

Maybe it was in the hospital room or late at night when you were all alone or during a season where everything you planned fell apart. 

In those moments, we do not need a philosophy. 

We do not need a theory. 

We need a Saviour who is near. 

That's why Christmas exists. 

It is God's answer to every question of distance, loneliness, and pain. 

It is heaven's declaration that God did not stay far away. 

He stepped into our world. 

He entered our story. 

The miracle of Christmas is not just that a baby was   born, but who that baby was. 

Luke 2:10-11 says, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.". 

 I want you to hear those words as if the angel is speaking them to you personally. 

For unto you is born, not for the righteous, not for the religious, not for the powerful, but for you. 

That is the miracle of Christmas. 

God stepped out of eternity and into time. 

The Infinite became an infant. 

The Creator became part of his creation. 

He wrapped himself not in royal robes but in swaddling clothes. 

His throne became a manger. 

His crown became straw. 

And yet in that humble setting, surrounded by the smell of animals and the chill of night air, lay the King of kings and Lord of lords. 

The one who spoke galaxies into being was now silent in a cradle. 

The one who measured oceans in his hands was now being held by the hands of his mother. 

The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. 

Why would he do that? 

Because he loves you. 

Because the heart of God is not distant. 

Because the story of Christmas is not man reaching for God. It's God reaching for man. 

All through human history, mankind has tried to climb up to heaven. 

26:32 We build towers. We build religions. We build systems trying to get closer to God. But on that silent night in Bethlehem, God came down the ladder himself. 

He didn't send a messenger. 

He became the message. 

He didn't shout from heaven. 

He came and whispered through the cry of a baby. 

That's the incarnation God made visible. 

The holiness of heaven wrapped in humanity. 

 The eternal word of God wrapped in human skin.  

Think about it. 

He didn't come as a warrior, though he could have. 

He didn't come as a king in gold and jewels, though he had every right to. 

He came as a baby, helpless and small, because he wanted to meet you at your level. 

He wanted you to know that no one is too broken, too weak, too forgotten to be touched by his grace. 

He became like us so that we could become like him. 

That's the beauty of Christmas. 

 It's the story of divine humility. 

The one who owns everything made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant. 

Philippians 2:7 says, "He emptied himself." 

And he did it for one reason, so that you would never again wonder if God understands your pain. 

He knows. 

He felt it. 

He lived it. 

When you cry, he remembers what tears feel like. 

When you are tempted, he remembers what it's like to be human. 

When you feel alone, he remembers the silence of Bethlehem. 

The rejection of Nazareth, the agony of Gethsemane, and the darkness of Calvary. 

Christmas proves that God is not a spectator. 

He is the Saviour. 

He doesn't watch you suffer from a distance. 

He walks with you in it. 

Every cradle moment in Bethlehem was pointing to a cross moment in Jerusalem. 

And that brings us to the next truth. 

The cross was hidden in the cradle. 

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." 

Do you realize that the first Christmas gift ever given wasn't wrapped in paper. It 

Christmas gift ever given wasn't wrapped in paper. 

It was wrapped in flesh. 

When God gave his Son, he was giving himself. 

And when that baby was born, the shadow of the cross already stretched across the manger. 

 Bethlehem was never meant to end in Bethlehem.

The wood of the manger pointed to the wood of the cross. 

The straw that cradled him would one day echo the thorns that crowned him. 

From the very beginning, Jesus came not just to live among us, but to die for us. 

He was born to die so that we might live. 

That's what makes Christmas so holy.

 It's not just about birth. 

It's about purpose. 

Every step he took from the cradle to the cross was guided by love. 

He didn't come to condemn. 

He came to redeem. 

He didn't come to judge. 

He came to justify. 

The manger and the cross tell one continuous story. 

The story of love that saves.

Without Calvary, Bethlehem is just another birth. 

But with Calvary, Bethlehem becomes our hope. 

The birth of Christ and the death of Christ cannot be separated. 

One reveals God with us.

The other reveals God for us. 

One shows his presence. 

The other proves his power. 

When the angels said, "Peace on earth," they were announcing what the cross would accomplish. 

Because real peace doesn't come from the absence of problems. 

It comes from the presence of the Prince of Peace. 

And when you look at the manger this Christmas, don't just see a baby. 

See the Saviour who came with a mission. 

The cradle was the beginning of the rescue plan that ended with resurrection. 

Now, let's look at what this means for us today. 

The message of Christmas itself, the message is not about religion. 

It's about relationship. 

It's not about ritual. 

It's about redemption. 

It's not about gifts under a tree. 

It's about God's presence within  you.

 John 1:12 says, "But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." 

 Christmas is heaven's rescue mission for Earth. 

It's God saying, "I see your pain. I see your sin. I see your struggle. and I've come to save you. 

 That's why the angel said, "Do not be afraid." 

Because the birth of Jesus meant that fear no longer had the final word. 

Faith does. 

It meant that sin no longer held dominion. 

Salvation does. 

It meant that death no longer has the last word. 

Life does. 

That's the message of Christmas. 

Hope, forgiveness, and eternal life. 

 Let's talk about hope. 

Hope is the assurance that God keeps his promises even when he seems silent. 

For 400 years before Jesus was born, heaven was quiet. 

No prophets spoke. 

No angels appeared. 

No miracles were recorded. 

People wondered if God had forgotten them. 

But he hadn't. 

He was preparing. 

And when the time was right, hope broke through in the cry of a newborn baby. 

That's how God works. Just when you think he's late, he shows up right on time. 

So, if you're waiting for a promise this Christmas, don't lose hope. 

The same God who fulfilled every prophecy about the Messiah will fulfill every promise he has made to you. 

Now, forgiveness. 

Jesus came not to condemn the world, but to save it. 

That means no matter who you are or what you've done, Christmas is for you. 

The manger is open to everyone. 

There's room for the shepherd who feels unworthy, for the wise man who's been searching, and for the sinner who's lost his way. 

Forgiveness is not earned. 

It's received. 

The same hands that were once tiny in Mary's arms grew up to stretch wide on the cross and say, "It is finished." 

That's the forgiveness of Christmas. 

Not temporary, not conditional, but eternal. and finally eternal life. 

The child in the manger didn't just come to improve your life. 

He came to give you a new one. 

Christmas is not about making bad people better. 

It's about making dead people live. 

The birth of Jesus was heaven's announcement that death no longer rules humanity. 

He came so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life. 

That means your future is secure. 

That means your soul is safe. 

That means you can live with peace in the present because eternity is already settled. 

So what is the heart of Christmas? 

It's not found in lights or songs or traditions. 

The heart of Christmas is found in a person, in Emanuel, God with us. 

And when you receive him, you become part of the story. 

The miracle doesn't stay in Bethlehem. 

 It moves into your heart. 

This is why l always tell people the greatest gift of Christmas is not what's under your tree. 

It's who hung on the tree. 

The cross makes the cradle make sense. 

The cradle shows us that God came near. 

The cross shows us how far he was willing to go. 

Maybe this year you feel like you've lost the meaning of Christmas.

Maybe the busyiness, the pressure, or the pain has dimmed your joy. 

But my friend, remember this. 

Christmas isn't about what's around you. 

 It's about who's within you. 

The heart of Christmas beats in every soul that says, "Lord Jesus Christ, you are my saviour." 

And I want to tell you today, if you've never received that gift, you can. 

Right now, wherever you are, you can invite him in because the story of Christmas isn't complete until the Christ of Christmas lives in you. 

You don't have to earn it. 

You don't have to prove it. 

All you have to do is receive it. 

Christmas is not about perfection.

 It's about presence. 

It's about the presence of a Saviour who steps into our mess, our brokenness, our confusion, and says, "I am here." 

That's what makes this season holy. It's not the decorations, the gifts, or the songs. 

It's the quiet miracle that God still draws near to those who call his name. 

So, before you rush back into the rhythm of your day, I want to ask you one question that could change everything. 

Have you received the greatest gift, Jesus himself? 

If you haven't, this is your moment. 

Don't let another Christmas pass without inviting Jesus Christ in. 

You don't have to have the perfect words.

 You don't have to clean up your past. 

Just come as you are. 

Pray with me. "Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you came for me. 

You are God in human form. 

Forgive my sins. 

Come into my heart and make me new. 

I receive the gift of salvation today and forever. 

Amen. 

If you prayed that prayer, heaven just celebrated your new beginning. 

That's what Christmas is all about.

 The God who came once to a manger still comes today to live within hearts that say yes to him. 

And as we close, I want to leave you with this blessing. 

May your Christmas not be about the noise of the season, but the voice of the Saviour. 

May his peace fill your home, his light guide your steps, and his love guard your heart.

Rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ from this Christmas and forever more. 

Thank you for spending this time with me and the family of God's family. 

Thank you for listening, for commenting, for sharing, and for seeking God's truth together. 

Every time you write a comment, I read it and I pray over many of them. 

If you have questions, something you want me to explain or a topic you're struggling with, please leave it in the comments below. l'll read it and each week we'll choose one to teach on together. 

And if life gets busy and I can't post every week, just wait for me. 

 In coming days, another message will come. 

These sermons are not just entertainment. 

They are prayers. 

They are my way of reaching through this screen and reminding you that you are loved, that your life matters, and that God's grace is still greater than your past. 

I pray these words have touched something deep inside you at this moment. 

Not just your mind, but your soul. 

And if they have, hold on to that stillness, that warmth, that whisper of hope, because that is the Holy Spirit reminding you that you are not alone. 

Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, your heart in his peace, and your hope anchored in his promises. 

From all of the readers here at Healthy Wealth, may you feel the love of God like never before.


God dwells in the praises of His people. Amen.
