FOOD FOR THOUGHT: CHRISTMAS And CHURCH SERVICES – Find One Near You And Attend!

**What is CHRISTMAS – is the yearly commemoration & Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth.

**What is the CHURCH – is the voluntarily gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP with each other and WORSHIP and SERVE God WORTHILY and ACCEPTABLY under a designated Shepherd – Pastor.

The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the MORNING or at start it is called the GATHERING or COMING TOGETHER – The MASS Service – Celebration and Commemoration – Hebrews 10:24-25; while in the EVENING or at closing it is called BENEDICTION – Professing, Declaration, Proclamation – which is the act of PRAYER in endorsing and invoking the divine Trinity. And that is: “The GRACE – which is The ACTS of Christ; The LOVE – which is The ACTS of the Father God; and The COMMUNION (Fellowship) – which is The ACTS of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14.

These BENEDICTION ACTS are often said after this manner occasionally: “May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit” be with you and those you care about – This Christmas. Amen.

Therefore, endeavour to attend to the Church services near you if there’s an opening of their door of services on Christmas day. And to know full well that:

“SELFISHNESS makes CHRISTMAS a burden but LOVE makes CHRISTMAS an INDESCRIBABLE celebration and commemoration of PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY and GOODWILL to all mankind”

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto LOVE and to GOOD WORKS: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.
