Timothy 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
The Church of Jesus Christ celebrates the birth of Jesus, born from a virgin, coming to this earth as Emmanuel God with Us. He came for one purpose and that was to demonstrate God's love to sinners like us in need of forgiveness. We were not and are not able to earn this precious gift of salvation. We needed God incarnate coming to us, dying for us and being raised on the third day!
The world looks upon the true purpose of Christmas and calls it a myth and the virgin birth as foolish talk, trying to lump Jesus and Santa together.
Followers of Christ around the world are suffering and being persecuted because they have believed not in myth but the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Their hearts completely changed by the power of God working in them. May we, who call ourselves disciples of Jesus Christ and whose hearts have been changed by the power of God in Christ Jesus, look for opportunities to proclaim Him and the Good News of His coming!
