Be at Home this Christmas



How Do You Plan To Celebrate Christmas This Year? - The Aussie Nomad

Permit me a little intrusion
Upon your Christmas plan
Just to reminisce a little bit
About God and sinful man.

The Christmas you celebrate
Cost God an enormous price,
His Son Jesus was the cost
For us he was sacrificed.

When our fore parents fell
Back there in ancient Eden
There was no hope for man
Except God’s promised Son.

The serpent bruised his heel
But he would crush his head,
His display at Mount Calvary
Would raise us from the dead.

In that our Saviour died once
Every soul can be made alive,
In him we have abundant life
Now we can more than survive.
 
Jesus on the cross for our sins.. I was in a discussion tonight, and this…  | by Craig Martineau | “The Loving Search for God” | Medium

God intervened in our mess
Through Jesus Christ his Son,
Now He is asking for a place
As we plan our Christmas fun.

Without Bethlehem’s manger
For Jesus’ cradle in that stall,
There would have been no hope
Since our parents took that fall.

From the onset in Eden’s Garden
Man had taken a selfish turn
Goaded on by Satan’s prodding
He the knowledge of evil learned.

Like God the first man aspired
With Satan he had conspired
To satisfy his selfish desire
The result was absolutely dire.

This Christmas will find some
Still Floundering in dire straits
Still taking that selfish turn
When given an opportune date.

If you are one such person
I beg you spare a thought for Christ,
Beyond your selfish celebration
Consider his selfless sacrifice.

Remember that first Christmas
Was the first of all that followed,
Now that God has offered you a way
No longer in sin should you wallow.

Thank you for the time given,
I am glad you took time to read,
Now it’s time for the next step
Follow through as the Spirit leads.

The tree, the tinsel and the lights
Are minor in this whole scheme,
The major part of Christmas
Really is about the redeemed.

 Why You Should Have a Christmas Marketing Plan Now! - Plann  
 
For there is no true Christmas
Outside of this so-called intrusion,
If the trappings fill your Christmas
Then it’s a mass of confusion.

So let me beg again in earnest
As you plan your Christmas treat,
Invite Jesus into your Christmas
And penitently bow at his feet.

It will be the best Christmas gift,
Invite him into your heart and soul
And you’ll be home for Christmas
Present in the Shepherd’s foal.
