What If Jesus Returned on Christmas?

By on • ( 6 )


I’ve often wondered what would happen if Jesus returned to His Kingdom on the day the world celebrates His birth.

I would have given anything to have heard the Angels announcing the birth of Israel’s King, our Lord and Savior.  But I think we will be the ones to witness the Angels announcing His return.

If He were to return on Christmas, would He find faith?  Would He find worship, or would he find a commercialized pagan festivity complete with gluttony and drunkness.  Before you roll your eyes ponder this for a moment.

I heard a Lutheran Pastor a few years ago ask his congregation, “If Jesus returns this Christmas would you run to bow at His feet and go with Him, or would you cling to your presents under the tree?”

Think about that this year.  And also think about, and pray for our Brethren killed for their faith and love of Christ.  May we all remember Immanuel and that He is with us!  May we all long for His return, instead of celebrating in ways that is not in the Bible.

I am not condemning anyone as I still wish Merry Christmas hoping to instill Love and Peace in unbelieving ears.  But don’t forget what is important.  Its not gifts or money or Christmas tree’s.  It’s about HIM!!  There’s a reason He told the rich man asking what he nust do to follow Christ, to give everything he owned and take up the cross.  The rich man is much like people today.  Celebrate His birth just remember He could return at any moment.  Are you ready??

Luke 2

Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

His birth was announced by His angels and so shall His return!!

I think about the Virgin Birth alot especially this time of year.  I thank God for the faith of Mary.  I pray to have just 1/4 of her faith.  I’ll end with this.  As it says it all.

    IF A PERSON DOES AN IN DEPTH STUDY AND RESEARCH OF HOW CHRISTMAS ORIGINATED, THEY SHALL DISCOVER THAT CHRISTMAS HAS pagan roots. CONSTANTINE WAS EXTREMELY INSTRUMENTAL IN TAKING PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE TRUE GOSPEL. THE MOST EARLIEST OF CHRISTIANS, DID NOT OBSERVE CHRISTMAS, THEY CONTINUED TO OBSERVE THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS, AS CHRIST TOLD US, AS HE HELD THE LAST SUPER, TO DO THIS INTO REMEMBER HIM. WE ACTUALLY SHOULD BE OBSERVING HANUKKAH, SINCE CHRIST WAS A JEW AS WELL. EASTER ALSO HAS pagan roots. WE AS CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE OBSERVING PASSOVER, UNTIL HE RETURNS. WHEN THE PURITANS CAME TO THIS COUNTRY CHRISTMAS WAS ILLEGAL. IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE CIVIL WAR, WHEN THE TROOPS NEEDED A FESTIVE OCCASION, AFTER THE WAR THAT ALABAMA WAS THE FIRST STATE TO MAKE CHRISTMAS LEGAL. NONE OF US KNOW THE ACTUAL BIRTH OF CHRIST, SOME SAY IT WAS IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, SOME SAY IT WAS DURING THE TIME OF THE HIGH JEWISH HOLIDAYS, BUT NONE OF US REALLY KNOW. YESHUA HO MESSIAH (JESUS CHRIST) DID NOTIFY US, AND SAY THAT HE WOULD NOT RETURN, UNTIL ALL OF THE PROPHECIES WOULD BE FULFILLED, OTHER THAN THAT NONE OF US KNOW THE DAY NOR THE HOUR, AND HE DID SAY, HE WOULD COME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. NO CHRISTMAS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BIRTH OF CHRIST, IT IS VERY MUCH MAN MADE.
