1) God's love for humanity led him to sacrifice his son Jesus to satisfy the laws governing humanity and allow unrestricted access to God. 2) Christianity replaced the old system of sacrifices and laws with easy access to God through Jesus, whose sacrifice ended that old age. 3) Important things that bear great destiny, like Jesus, often start small, as Jesus was born in a manger as a baby. 4) The date of Christmas is not as important as the meaning, which is the birth and life of Jesus Christ. As long as Jesus is glorified, the date can be celebrated whenever one chooses. 5) Through receiving Jesus, one can become a son of God, which

LAW&LOVE
JOHN 3:16
For GOD so love the world
For God gave his only son
It starts and ends with the love God
has for us. God made the laws gov-
erning the earth and He was bound
by his own laws. While men have
veto powers which makes an allow-
ance for period when it would be
inconvenient to follow the rules, God
doesn’t veto anything. He plays by
his rules and the only option that led
to Christmas was to put forward his
own Son as a subsitutute for man.

worlDS end
HEB 9:26
but now once in the end of the world
has he appeared to put away sin by
the sacrifice of himself
its actually strange when your
Pastor starts a Christmas sermon in
Hebrews!. Well, that’s were is all
started from. Christianity is easy
today - AD. BC- building a relation-
ship we pretty much like pulling a
tooth everyday. In a really bad week
you could have made 7 sacrifices for
7 sins that made you unclean...ar-
rgh!! plus you couldn’t just close your
eyes speak in tongues and get an
inner winess of things you needed to
do. You had to seek a priest and sac-
rifice and on and on. God did’nt want
all that he wanted each of us to have
unrestricted access to him 24-7. So
on Xmas he sent Jesus, to end that
age of sacrifice, laws, burdens
arrgh!!. So that its so easy to get
access to him. Remember this is the
same God that struck Uzzah dead for
touching His arch, now we literari-
ly/actually have that arch inside us.
God has always been about how to
have a better, more initimate rela-
tionship with us.

STARTs SMALL
LUKE 2:7
Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes
Jesus was laid in a manger
I can almost authoritatively say that
anything that is in “PURPOSE” must
of a necessity start small. Somehow
lives or “things” that bear great des-
tiny start small.

THEDATE IS justA NUMBER
ROMANS 14:5
One man esteems one day above another:
another esteems everyday alike. Let every
man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Look the essence of the thing is the
life of the thing period. If you so
choose you can celebrate Christmas
on October 14th. It’s all good, so far
Jesus Christ is glorified. Some say
it’s the same day dedicated to the
Sun God, lol. Everyday in history has
been dedicated to something in the
history of time so really if we
wanted to set an undefiled day for
Xmas, perhaps we might have to
start spinning the Sun again. And if
some people try to mask their tradi-
tion in ours, once we step into it as
the Sons of God we sanctify it
period! Let me illustrate. The U.S oc-
cupies Iraq. If they set a day as Love
day but conveniently make it July
4th so that they can take time off to
celebrate their own independence
day back home as well. The Iraqis
totally ignorant of this fact would
embrace the day and the essence of
the day would be achieved. Some
say it’s not biblical. But I ask is
Jesus glorified? YES!.

JOHN 1:12
To them that received him, to them he gave
power to become the sons of God
God wants you and I to actually
become sons (in the eye of God we
are all the same sex) of God. The
path was made open at Christmas.
