Prayer 2021 - December 25 - Merry Christmas


Listen Later

Scripture For Today:Matthew 5:44“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Merry Christmas!

Today, I simply want to talk to you a few minutes about the importance of this day.  

Whether Jesus was born on December 25th really does not matter. Whether He was born in the winter of the fall or the spring, really does not matter. Whether the celebration of Christmas has taken on a totally secular meaning for the world does not matter.

Because of the celebration of believers everywhere, Christians coming together and celebrating the birth of the Savior into this fallen world – it does not matter what religion anybody is claiming to be (or none at all). 

Because even the most devout atheist, Muslim or Hindu must admit that today, December 25th, the rest of the world is celebrating the BIRTH OF JESUS.

Whether or not they believe in Him does not matter to you.

Whether or not they want to recognize today as the celebration of His birth into this world does not matter to you.

Whether they die in their sins and go straight to hell for all eternity, as tragic and as heartless as this sounds – does not matter to you.

You see, THEY have made their decision. 

You can be a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ in the celebration of His birth. It really does not matter what day of the year, what season of the year or whatever you want to dispute. It really does not matter…

All that really matters is the fact that TODAY, December 25th – the believers in this world ARE CELEBRATING. That is all that truly matters.

I believe Jesus is happy that we are celebrating today. Whether or not it is truly the day He was born is irrelevant to Him. He has been since the beginning. One day a year – whatever day – really does not matter. 

As long as we are recognizing HIM as the Christ… THE MESSIAH… THE SAVIOR of the world!  That is all He cares about!  Amen!

So go sing your Christmas carols. Go sing your Christmas songs. Go and open your presents and gifts. Go eat your huge banquet dinner. Go and watch your football or whatever it is you are going to do…

But, as you go, please do ONE THING…

Stop a moment, pray and just THANK JESUS for creating this day where the whole entire world, regardless if they believe in Him and His Salvation or not – the entire world, must recognize that TODAY – belongs to Jesus!

Amen!

Let’s Pray!
