BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST LED TO CHRIST CELEBRATION

JESUS CHRIST BIRTH LED THE ( 3 wise men) TO CELEBRATE HIM
CHRIST+MAS= CHRISTMAS

Before the birth of Jesus Christ
Just as Jesus performed many miracles throughout His life, the circumstances of His birth were also miraculous. However, the story of Christmas didn’t start in the stable at Bethlehem where He was born. For hundreds of years, prophets—holy men called to preach the words of God to His children—told of Jesus’s eventual coming.

Prophecies
The prophet Isaiah, who lived hundreds of years before Jesus, gave many prophecies concerning the coming of the Savior. “For unto us a child is born,” Isaiah wrote, “unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). This prophecy referred to Christ’s power and authority as the Son of God. Isaiah also prophesied, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).  


And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11





WHAT IS CHRISTMAS
Christmas is a Christian holiday that is celebrated on December 25 in honor of the birth of 
Jesus Christ in Bethlehem.

How Did the Christmas festival originated 
Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25.  During this period, Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the weeklong celebration.  The festival began when Roman authorities chose “an enemy of the Roman people” to represent the “Lord of Misrule.”  Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week.  At the festival’s conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering this innocent man or woman
Why is Christmas Day on the 25th December?
Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. The 'Christ-Mass' service was the only one that was allowed to take place after sunset (and before sunrise the next day), so people had it at Midnight! So we get the name Christ-Mass, shortened to Christmas.
Christmas is now celebrated by people around the world, whether they are Christians or not. It's a time when family and friends come together and remember the good things they have. People, and especially children, also like Christmas as it's a time when you give and receive presents! On December 25, Christians around the world will gather to celebrate Jesus Christ. Joyful carols, special liturgies, brightly wrapped gifts, festive foods—these all characterize the feast today, at least in the northern hemisphere. 

SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRISTMAS
1) Season of great joy. 
2) It is a time of God showing His great love for us. 
3) A time of healing and renewed strength. 
4) To eradicate all manner of evil
5) To establish the kingdom of God on earth. Etc

Today, you might commemorate Christmas by placing a Nativity set in your home. These Nativity sets depict figures representing the visitors who came to worship the baby Jesus. Heavenly ministers and signs led faithful people to the young Jesus so they could pay their respects 

Thanks to God Almighty whom Him along is glorify, for the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to comprised the write up. Lord how excellent is your name in all the earth how wonderful is your name. Be thou exalted 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE.

WHAT PATH ARE YOU?

  What path Are You? Before you proceed in reading the PURPOSE of the Main word “What path are you”. Let me bring your mind calm not to be at high-stake, on what some do says “that a very common myth is that if you just find your passion you will became fearless and everything will fall into place.           That’s wrong. But from my experience once you find something you enjoy, you became even more afraid, because now you are playing high-stakes. Watch out or be careful of the path you followed Proverb 4:26 Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. There are several paths one can take, but not every path is open to you. Claire Bloom It’ time you push yourself out of unpleasant zone you called a comfort zone that is coming to lead assault, offensive or obstacles.
