The real christmas story
What is real Christmas ? Is it giving gift and receiving , Going shopping , Going church and buying
new cloths hmm ok lets cut everything short this not any conventional
Christmas message this is the true story of Christmas fighting the
rejection and being the hope for the rejected. First thing you need to
understand is Christ birth was rejected by the world now, you might be
wondering what is this guy telling is going mad is he crazy to make a
beautiful Christmas story that we celebrate taking about rejection. Ok
keep calm and read on this going to touch everyones heart and will talk
you to because i know everyone got rejected at some point. This is for
you.
You know
Gabriel spoke to Mary and what happen after that this where the story
really starts GOD choose Mary to give birth to Jesus and she was
promised to Joseph (Read Matthew 1: 18-19). Lets look at a real life
scenario that when a person and his family members finds out the bride
to be is pregnant. The family members got furious and they started
rejecting Mary not only them Joseph too, he didn't know what to do until
GOD spoke to him. Now lets look at Mary's status
rejected and alone she only had GOD and she was strong and stayed in
faith. It was the biggest test and she had to be in faith until GOD
provides; because no earthly comfort only the comfort in her heart with
GOD words that strengthened her. It is not easy when the whole world
looking at her in a bad way when you know she was doing the right thing.
Most painful feeling is feeling rejected and alone but did she give up
or did she let GOD use her? You know the answer she didn't and now we
are celebrating Christmas and we have forgiveness because of it. And
what else do we learn from here, we shouldn't be soon to judge person
maybe we got to listen to their story before we condemn. And while some
was rejecting her Elizabeth comforting words of blessing no Mary helped
her to be strong and faithful to GOD(read Luke 1: 42 -45). “You are
the most blessed of all women, and blessed is the child that you will
have. I feel blessed that the mother of my Lord is visiting me. As soon
as I heard your greeting, I felt the baby jump for joy. You are
blessed for believing that the Lord would keep his promise to you.” A
simple word of encouragement to keep Mary's faith up. Now the question
is witch side we are choosing this Christmas are we going to help the
rejected, are we joining the group to reject others and condemn or are
we going fight the rejection and keep the faith in GOD till GOD provide
our needs. We have a Choice this Christmas to Give up or not Give up .
Ok
let move on story is not yet done. GOD speaks to Joseph this is where
its really going to test Joseph faith. Mary was pregnant and because
his family was furious and rejecting Mary he had a thought of divorcing
Mary (Read Matthew 1:19). But GOD didn't stop working on him he gave him
a vision and ask him to marry Mary (Read Matthew 1:20-25). Joseph came
from a good family background and a respectful one this a big challenge
to listen to GOD and marry Mary. What would he will he choose to be
Rejected by his family n friends to do good for humanity or to keep the
reputation and live normal life and marry another girl. His decision is
critical at this point reject the rejected or to accept the rejected and
bring them hope and security. We all know he married Mary and obeyed
GOD request; But he didn't know his choice he took is hard. To tell you
the bitter truth there was no help for both and the child. You know when
people starts to gossip and when those bad negative words that they
spoke of travels and falls in the ears of Joseph and Mary how would have
they felt ? How would have it tested their faith in GOD? But did they
give up ? No because GOD plan is still not done; And In peoples minds
Christ was a King a savior but no one thought of this twist that GOD
gave the world a couple trying to find a proper place to give birth son
of GOD. Even we try to see good things in Christmas GOD show the true
nature of humanity from the story of birth of his own son. World is a
hard place to be because we make it harder and unmerciful for the needy.
We choose to bully and reject than to be the comfort and open our doors
who are in need. Now my friend you see what it really shows our true
nature Christ came to save us from.
What
do we learn from this ? What is Christmas really means reminding us to
change from the sinful nature and turn the path that Christ walked by
opening our hearts to the rejected, overcoming rejection and never give
up GODs plans in your life even its hard. Remember Mary and Joseph
didn't complain why this is only happening to us but they only rejoiced
in the lord. So what is Christmas offers to people its hope to fight
rejection and believe in your self and in GOD plan for you. Don't
complain or condemn just rejoice in the Lord and walk in the path of
Christ be the change and change the world. If life is hard on you DON'T
give up hope its not still over.
