Christmas by Christmas pass by. Every year we never fail to celebrate Christmas. This year we celebrate Christmas and next year we will. What does God want to see from us in every Christmas?
God wants us to be the light of the world as Jesus comes as the light.(Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." John 8 : 12). We only can see the light in dark place. We can not see the light in light place. For Jesus comes to this world as the light, it means this world is in darkness. (We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. 1 John 5 :19).
God doesn't want we live lying under the sway of the wicked one, so He gives His son for us. (For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3 : 16).
When God gives His only begotten son for us is called Christmas.
When we receive Jesus as our saviour is called Christmas.
So, what do we have to do after Christmas?
As Jesus is the light so we should be the light as well. How can we be the light? We can lighten up this world by doing God words because this world is passing away with its lust. (And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2 : 17)
The point of Christmas is not the holiday, not the celebration but it is to remember the love of our God and remember our duty after receiving Jesus. (And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16 : 15)
