Who Is Jesus Christ To You?

Therefore God also had highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, ... and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:9-11

Christmas is the time you can get so busy shopping, decorating, planning, packing etc. You may be so involved doing a lot that you lose focus of the main reason for the event: Jesus. When the season is over you might find yourself tired and dry after all the excitement that seemed to keep you happy. It might hit you hard only then, that during Christmas you never spend any time with Lord Jesus.

He is Prince of Peace who came to bring peace to your heart in the midst of your circumstances. John 14:27 says, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Have you experienced that peace in Christ Jesus today?

He is the Redeemer. "But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His son ... that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us. And because you are His sons, God has sent the (Holy) Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba Father!" He redeemed us so that we can be sons! Are you a son of God? (Galations 4:4-6,9)

He is the Saviour. "... for He will save His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21) He is your Saviour who saved you from sins. No animal offerings can take the place of the only Son of God through whom we have forgiveness of sins. He came to deliver us from darkness and bondage of the enemy. He paid the price of His own life that we might have fullness of life. Having turned away from your past dead way of human being" (Philippians 2:7)

Martha occupied herself and was busy and distracted with much serving when Jesus came to their house but Mary seated herself at the Lord's feet and was listening to His teaching. Jesus said that Mary had chosen the good portion which would not be taken away from her.

Who is Jesus to you? This is a question that you should sincerely ask yourself and only you can answer it yourself. Do not let Christmas be an event of celebration where Christ is not the centre and where you are distraceted with the fun of it, but like Mary have chosen the good portion of being found in the presence of the Lord?

Have you received Him today to make a fresh start for your life and a meaningful Christmas?

There can be no Christmas celebration without Christ.
