Holy Bible says God created man, in his own image and named him as Adam and God put him in a very comfortable place called 'the garden of Eden' and gave him a wife, whom Adam named as Eve. God gave Adam and Eve all the freedom except for eating the forbidden fruit, which Eve and Adam ate and brought sin into this world. In order to redeem mankind from their sin God sent his one and only son, Jesus Christ, who died for our sake, was buried, rose from the dead and ascended in to heaven.   "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23

Meditation on Joseph's life

It gives us great insight when we read Joseph's story and evaluate his life from the time when he was born to the times when he became ruler in Egypt. Though many call it a ‘story’, yet it is not a fiction or a ‘story’ told to children but this is a reality that happened in the ancient days, when God chose Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as his own people. God blessed

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wish you a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year 2008. It is wonderful that many days before Christmas-day, the celebrations have begun. Many houses are decorated, many radio stations play Christmas songs, and many people talk about Shopping and Christmas celebrations.

What exactly Christmas means?

Seven hundred years before Christ, there lived a prophet called Isaiah. In the Old Testament book, Isaiah Chapter 9:6 he prophesied about Jesus Christ. "For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called 'Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace.' "

In New Testament, Luke Chapter 1 verses 26to 38 we read, "God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town of Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendent of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." When Mary was afraid, the angel said, "Do not be afraid, Mary you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.

The Lord will give him the throne of David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, his kingdom will never end. "How this will be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God." Before Joseph and Mary came together, Mary was found with child through Holy Spirit.

Because Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to put her away quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." (cf Mt.1:18-24).

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet. When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son.

Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem. He grew up in a poor family, preached the Kingdom of God, Way to obtain salvation, died for our sake upon the cross of Calvary, was buried and rose upon the third day. Later, he ascended in to heaven.

Do we indeed remind ourselves of the birth of Jesus Christ, or celebrate just for the sake of enjoyment?

Let us not confound "Christ" when we celebrate Christmas. Let not gift-presenting Santa Claus take the place of eternal-life-giver, Jesus Christ, otherwise, Christmas becomes a fairy tale, rather than rendering a pure and excellent reality in the spiritual realm. Let us not neglect the Church. Let us not neglect the needy. Let our abundant blessings be showered on as many poor as possible. Let us prepare our souls for Christmas. Truly, many of us spend a great deal of time, energy and money ignoring the preparation of our souls to revere Christ. Let us concede greater place for Christ in our hearts rather than the day, Christmas.
