‘So you want to be a Christian?

There are many people today who will be on their annual pilrimage to Church today and over this Christmas Season. But you will not see them, perhaps at Easter until next year!

People go to Church or fellowship for many reasons, religiosity, tradition, lonliness, the food ect.

But true believers go because we love jesus, who chose us and set us free from our sinful pasts. We are in a one to one relationship daily with Him, reading and trying to apply the bible, praying and seeking the lost all around us.

In turn we are rejected, hurt, opposed, persecuted, bullied, even threatened and intimidated by those who reject the truth. But we have to forgive them and press, because some of us were one like that too.

Psalm 98:2,  Matthew 11:28-30,  Acts7:60-8:1, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 12.

Uncaring Humanity.

Christmas does not end with the birth of the baby Jesus, after all the commercial build up to this one special day of food, family, presents, arguments, lonliness, suicide and adultry?

People had to flee Bethlehem, after the birth and the visit of the Magi because mad King Herod was out to get rid of this child. In fact we see this everyday in the world, people keep rejecting the good news message of Jesus, with all sorts of excuses.

Herod was not the first, he is not the last and there will be more of the same to come. Pharoah of Egypt, the Turkish-Armenian genocide, the Crusades, Adolf Hitler, Phol Pot, Burundi-Rwanda.

Even this week there has been mass murders and another Burundi crisis is fermenting as humanity condems Paris and forgets about the rest of the world.

A God who Cares.

Jesus came to die for us, because God cares for us. He cares for those in need and the poor, He is able to use others to inspire them to service and us to who believe in Him.

The world is full of do gooders, who moan about why? why? does God not do this and that, stop so and so?

God does not fit in our pockets, it is rather we who believe in Him fit into His.

Psalm 72:9-12,  John 3:15-17,  1 Corinthians 2:10.

Isa/Isus/Jesus/Yeshua-Immanuel.

We tend to forget sometimes who Jesus is and His relationship to all those visitors who came to address and acknowledge Him in Bethlehem, just outside Jerusalem.

The shepherds were perhaps the lowest in society of their day, they were undesirable men and yet Jesus ancestor King David of Israel started in these humble beginnings.

We must never loose sight of the Good News Message, that Jesus died for all of humanity. Because he is the Great Shepherd and the Lamb that was slain for our Sins.

Luke 2:8-20,  1 Samuel 17:20, 28, 34-35,  2 Samuel 7:8,  Psalm 23:1, 78:70-71,  Mark 6:34,  John 3:16-17.
