Christmas

Every year we recieve presents, go to church and celebrate christmas as just any other festive season...
This is the second year that i celebrated christmas with Jesus in my heart..
Every year i recieve presents with high expectations but when i unwrap the presents, it will always be below my expectations and i will always be kinda sad...but of course still must accept right..

Anyways..
This year it is kinda different cause i understood one point..


The point is that i feel that christmas presents are not important at all!
If people buy for you, it just shows that they care and love you..
You may buy a super expensive gift and that person may give you something real cheap, it doesn't really matter..cause your gift made someone smile!
i feel that presents are suppose to make the reciever feel happy...if you did it, you succeed!
And christmas is not just about giving gifts and recieving them,
It is about the fact that God came down to earth as a human being!


You may say...haiz..i hear this story 10000000...times!

But i still wanna emphasize on the point that a God that is willing to step down from the throne and his comfort zone to go through all the trouble, pain and sufferings just to save us from going to hell because of our sins, that God, is a good and amazing God!


There is a song called above all,
One of the sentence is...
"you lived to die, rejected and alone, like a rose, trampled on the ground, you took the fall, and thought of me, above all..."


Before i came to really know christ, i used to wonder..
why must God come down just to save us...
here is a story that i heard and i wanna tell you..


There is this son of a man...
The man is a judge...
The son committed a huge crime and was being placed in court!
This man have to follow the law and give his son the punishment that he deserve!
So he has to painfully judge his son...
After judging, because he loves his son so so much, he took down his wig, step down from his judge seat and took the punishment that his son has to endure upon himself...

It is the same with God...
God loves us so so much that he is willing to take our place..
To be born as a human being called Jesus to take upon our punishment..
"For the wages of sin is death"
He loves you so so much!
Are you willing to love him back?

God loves you!
