My Christmas message
I was asked to set up the Nativity scene at our church Christmas Carols evening and decided to carry through the same message as I portrayed at out Honour’s events at school.
It’s perhaps very different to Nativity scenes you have seen
before. You will see the crown of thorns in the background. Jesus started His
life in a manger, but ended up on the cross.
Jesus cannot be left in the manger, unless we accept Him into our lives and let Him change us, then we have missed the point of His life. We need to grow as He grew.
By accepting that He is my Saviour, I need to walk with Jesus, read His Word and follow His teachings as best as is humanly possible. Throughout His life on earth Jesus displayed the Fruit of the Spirit as recorded in Galatians 5 :22 and 23
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self control

Jesus was sent to live amongst us and live a life like ours. He suffered all we do and more! The difference was the way in which He responded to what life put in His path.
If we are His children, it is our responsibility to share His message of hope, grace and forgiveness with the world. The life of a Christ follower is not a bed of roses, we were never promised that, but eternal life with Jesus is a promise. We were also promised, “ I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” During the tough times we have a partner walking with us! He will never reject you, persecute you or let you down.
This Christmas I urge you to invite Jesus into your life and walk the road He walked, walking with Him, making a difference in the lives of others and sharing the love of Jesus with them.
May Jesus bless and be with you through all your trials and give you His peace.
