Poem
Bereft of CHRIST, and the very word “Christ,” there would be no Christmas… since Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ the “Emmanuel”* Who is the Saviour though not exactly on December 25 as traditionally known... Devoid of CHRIST, the remaining “mas” would be in acrostic mean “Man As Sinner.” I do believe that the biblical Christmas is the incarnation of God, becoming human miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit to reach down to me, a sinner in need of redemption. Because of CHRIST, Christmas’ is a valuable gift as mankind is offered love-wrapped present with eternal life, forgiveness, and peace. To me, Christmas is receiving “the gift of God” which is “eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”** With CHRIST as the reason for the season Christmas for me is commemoration... Celebrating the Lord Who deserves praise-filled commitment Honouring and worshipping Him with all my heart Renewing my earnestness to serve responsibly Inclining my whole to Him, trusting His Word so immutable Sharing the Gospel, testifying about His grace and salvation Triumphing in His marvelous wonders thankfully Making His deeds known, exalting His name, magnificent Acknowledging His leadership as to Him I yield my all Staying in His blessed will while faith He strengthens. Hence, Christmas to me is living for CHRIST*** everyday. *Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. **Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. ***Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ… December 31, 2019 Edited on December 14, 2020 3rd place, "Christmas Poems Old or New" Contest Sponsored by Constance La France; judged on 12/22/2020.
