“Christmas is a time when people of all religions come
together to worship Jesus Christ.” - Bart
Simpson
OK, so this is funny because it’s the cartoon character Bart
Simpson talking. Unfortunately
many people (who are not cartoon characters) believe that there are many ways
to Heaven; that Jesus is not the only way to God. The popular belief is that we all can be right and to not be
excepting of other faiths is intolerant.
The truth is that if you believe what Jesus said in any part of the
Bible, you must believe that He is who He said He is. And, if you believe that Jesus is who He said He is, you
must believe that by believing in Jesus, and only Jesus, you will go to Heaven. There is no grey area here.
As Christians we come together at Christmas time not to
worship a myth, we come to worship the birth of our Savior. Jesus is the only hope we have of ever
being reconciled to God. Without
Jesus, we would be lost in sin and forever separated from God.
So Christmas is a time to celebrate the sacrifice that our
Heavenly Father gave in order that His creation could once again stand in His
presence. Christmas is about
Jesus. To celebrate Christmas with
Jesus is like having a birthday party for someone and not inviting them to
their party. Invite Jesus into
your heart this Christmas. He is
the most precious gift you will ever receive.
1 John 5:11
And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal
life, and this life is in His Son.
