The Word become flesh, and live among us

Today as you all know, is Christmas day, to celebrate the birth of Lord Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. It's a feast celebrated throughout the world, as it should be because the joy is simply overflowing.

Why Jesus was born into this world? Or should we ask who is Jesus Christ first?

In Bible, there's something as "The Word." In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word is with God, and the Word is God. Yes, everything in this world is created through the Word, because at that time , when God says, "Let there be Light!" and there's light! This Word, of course is Lord Jesus Christ.

So in his infinite love for us, because he loves us eternally, he emptied himself completely, and became man, and lived among us. He came to experience our pain and suffering here on earth, he came to preach the Kingdom of God, most importantly, he came to save us, out of his limitless love.

In Him there's Life, that enlightens all man. Christ's coming in Christmas, taking on our weak human nature, so that we may share his divine nature, which is eternal. The light shines in our darkness, deep into our heart. It's that light that brings happiness to us.

To all Christians, look at the Nativity Set in church with faith. Don't take it as decorations, just look at everything in it with faith. Sure you will feel how joyful and hopeful, because Jesus really loves you.

Have a merry and Blessed Christmas!
