What is Christmas
as in The Bible entrenched?
Is it like the
Christmas ‘stolen by the Grinch?’
Is it about gifts,
colored lights, and merriment,
Decorations, and year-end money management??
In Earth, Holy seed
was deposited-to-develop
Into Mary’s Babe,
God’s Genesis 3:15 set-up.
From Mary’s womb,
He was delivered-to-deliver
Us who were struck
by arrows from satan’s sin quiver.
For 40 days on a
mountain, He declined-to-dine,
So to Father He
could say, ‘Thy will be done, not Mine.’
From town-to-town
He traveled, the destitute-to-deliver,
With twelve
disciples, one of whom would become His betrayer.
A cruel death on a
cross He was destined-to-die,
So to Father God we
could once again draw nigh.
When whipped, then
crucified, He declined-to-decry
His tormentors who
said His Truth was just a lie.
When He died, a Roman
soldier dared-to-declare,
‘This is God’s Son!’ Voila! He became ‘God-aware.’
From the cross, His
spirit descended-to-upend,
the kingdom of satan on the Earth to transcend.
Yep…
From Heaven He had
come, God’s desire-to-do,
To show us He’s
God’s Son, and we can be, too!
On God’s Throne,
He’s now dedicated-to-defend
All who repent of
their sins, and become His friend.
Now to us all, He
offers a decision-to-decide:
Be horrified in
hell, or with Him, saved and justified.
He is willing your
judgment dregs-to-drink,
Before into your
grave, then hell …you sink.
Friend, He is
knocking on your heart’s door, not-to-unnerve,
But from judgment,
to offer an escape, undeserved.
I pray you’ll
repent, amazing grace-to-embrace,
And into God’s
Kingdom be swept, all sins erased.
Devils will prompt
you this decision-to-delay.
‘There’s no rush,’ they’ll say, ‘Just decide another day!’
If by their
promptings, you are deceived-to-delay,
Don’t think you’ll
know when, from this life you’ll pass away!
So what is Christmas
as in The Bible entrenched??
It’s nothing like
the Christmas ‘stolen by the Grinch!’
In our world that
remains full of sinful darkness,
It’s about Jesus,
and God’s 12 Him’s of Christmas:
1. Him, Seed deposited-to-develop…2. Him, delivered-to-deliver…3. Him, 40 days declining-to-dine…4. Him travelling, the destitute-to-deliver…5. Him, destined-to-die…6. Him, declining-to-decry…7. Him, a soldier daring-to-declare…8. Him, descending-to-upend…9. Him, God’s desire-to-do…10. Him, dedicated-to-defend…11. Him, knocking not-to-unnerve…12. Him, willing, your judgment dregs-to-drink…
About ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’, you have-to-have-heard,
But Christmas is much
longer, according to God’s Word.
From what I‘ve read,
we’re all forewarned, I now testify:
Christmas lasts from the day we’re born ‘til
the day we die.
Christmas is about
your decision-to-decide,
‘Who is this Jesus whom folk say for me did die?’
Beware as you
ponder, and avoid the derision,
Because not
deciding …is clearly a decision.
