If Christ has not been died, there was no resurrection of Christ;

If Christ has not been risen, our faith was futile & we were still in sins.

Holy Night

On 21st July 1969, astronauts went up the moon. President Nixon of USA proudly proclaimed: "In the history of mankind, this is the greatest achievement." The next day, his good friend named Dr. Billy Graham told him, "Mr. President, the greatest achievement in the history of mankind is not going to the moon, but it is the birth of God's Son, Jesus Christ on this earth 2,000 years ago."

The birth of Jesus is the new beginning of the history of mankind in the modern Century.
Alright, then let's ride a time aircraft, get back to 1st century (2 millennium ago). ;D
Perhaps you've heard it for uncountable times, I'll just fast forward okay? (shushes everybody up) :P

In Bethlehem in Judea, A babe was born in a manger named Jesus Christ, it is indeed a good tidings for us.
But do we really understand how many hardships He had been gone through?

After Jesus was born, King Herod heard this and he felt disturbed, therefore He decided to murder this child without hesitations, and it was exactly fulfilled what the LORD had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt, I called my son."

Hello! Jesus was just an infant at the moment, What do you think if A king were afraid of an infant?
It sounds like so ridiculous but King Herod was really anxious due to Jesus' existence, it was a menace for King Herod. But literally, this is just the beginning of hardships.

3 decades later, Jesus was baptised & began to preach for 3 years. He had been persecuted by the Jews, betrayed by His beloved disciple- Juda, arrested by the Roman Emperor, whipped by the ruthless soldiers, insulted by the people. The Denials of Peter, The Crucifixion etc...


We couldn't imagine how Jesus struggled throughout his death (Matthew 26:36-46).
He said, "It is finished." crucifying on the cross. Subsequently, he bowed his head down and gave up his spirit.


JESUS      =  He saves / the LORD saves
CHRIST   =  Anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word translated “Messiah”
                               ( John 1:41 , Psalms 2:2 )


Prince of Peace has revived!!! Christ is the LORD!!!
He has accomplished the ultimate goal in His entire life.

His birth brought a hope unto mankind.
His resurrection brought everlasting life for whoever believes in Him so we'll not perish.
He was born in a manger which towards the salvation of cross,
and yet He liberated the yoke of slaves for setting our soul free.
May His sacrifice touch our heart every moment & Holy Spirit anoint us to live like Jesus Christ.

The holy God was humbly born in the world which is full of sins.
The holy God became an infant that we could embrace in our hands.
The holy God lived with ungodly mankind.

The Crucifixion, The Resurrection, The Salvation, The Forgiveness, The Unfailing Love unto mankind.
I just hope to love Him with all my heart, my soul & my mind & imitate His image eternally to become a fruitful disciple which bears very much fruit. (The fruit of the Spirit & the Light)

The birth of JESUS became Holy Night. :')
Thanks to The Son of God  for you're magnificent!
Lord Jesus, you're the radiance of God's glory.
