Jesus is coming, we are going to meet Him; but in what condition are we going to meet Him ?
I think this is a crucial question that brings us back to the Bible study we are having, what do you think KLCC Family?
btw Happy New Month ??
I think the caption on the video says a lot about our Christmas culture. So much time and energy spent on decorations, but not enough time spent in true celebration of Christ’s coming and anticipation of His return. Decorating and singing and Christmas cheer are great, as we serve a God who loves joyous celebration. But I think the celebration should be intentional and focused on Christ, not just mindless tradition. And celebration should also be coupled with prayer, worship and somber reflection. I’m reminded of Anna the prophetess. Luke 2:37 says, “She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.” When Jesus was presented at the temple as a baby, she went up to the family and “gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem” (Luke 2:38).
Yes! I agree with you! I miss the Christmas carols of my childhood -where Jesus Christ was the center; heart warming songs like silent night , Felix Na Vidad, three wise men , Drama / plays in church about the Jesus born in Bethlehem.
Santa Claus only came after; the main focus was the birth and celebration of Christ.. my heart used fo be full of joy ..
