God's plan of salvation

Matthew 1: 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

The feast of Christmas, the coming of Jesus to this earth, is coming. But when you look around, blurs the overall picture of Christmas. It's like a big epidemic in a country and nobody knows what the drug is for it. In fact, many people do not even know they are sick or they do not want to know. That's exactly how things are in this world, the epidemic of sin festers on and people do not know, do not want to know and also don't know the medication.

God's plan of salvation is so beautiful, so full of love and mercy that we had never imagined that. His Son, Jesus Christ is come to earth and died for the sins of the world. And whosoever believeth in Him shall be saved! That's from the fall appeared to God's plan and when God came to Joseph through an angel in a dream, he made his plan known. Mary will give birth to a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.

And if we look around us, your heart will burst with grief. For people outside the church usually don't know the drug anymore. Christmas for them is a festival of lights and good food. Even the name Christmas is banned from advertising and so it's all stashed away. God's plan is covered up and hidden behind conviviality. And that worries, first with God but also His children. Because we indeed want to give every human being the cure for sin. Every human should know that they are sinful and that salvation is in Jesus Christ. Otherwise they will be lost and it is our task to make that in the world everyone knows the Light, just as the shepherds.

But even within the churches, we see the problems. In some churches people are not told that they are ill, they are lost. There is only talk about Jesus, about the drug, but they do not know that they are sick. We need to know that the disease is in us and then we can discover the true love of God and His salvation plan. Jesus Christ who saves from sin. But in other churches the drug is not declared, and if it did happen then it is considered as something unattainable. If a sausage hung in front of us, while we still can not reach.

But we can celebrate Christmas because the Savior came to earth and that He died for the sins! Then we really know Christmas, if we may believe that Jesus died for our sins and paid. We may sing his name at this time of year, you can enjoy the coziness and lights. Because then came God's plan for us to fulfillment, that we might be saved. And that we should tell everyone, both the disease and the drug, so the great Saviour.

You shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. Did he saved you already? Not? Then you can come to Him with your sins, for He will save you. He will not let you stand outside the house, but you may come to the manger and kneel before the Son of God. Then your life is filled and Christmas is a celebration of hope and we can be a light, though we are still small. A flame that burns in the wind. Such a cheerful bright light, which is a beautiful sight. Come on down, it's for everyone.
