THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

TO THE BIBLE:
Colossians 1:27 NKJV
“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

LET’S TALK
Merry Christmas! What a glorious season this is, a time to rejoice, to reflect, and to remember the most extraordinary gift ever given: Jesus Christ. While many see Christmas as a time for food, fun, and family gatherings, the true essence of this season is far greater. It’s about Christ—who He is, why He came, and what He accomplished. He said in John 10:10 (AMPC), “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” He came to give you life and to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), and He fulfilled that purpose.

But here’s the most powerful part: Jesus didn’t come just to be among us—He came to live in us. Titus 2:13 calls Him “the great God and our Saviour.” Jesus is God. When He was born, He was called Emmanuel—God with us. And Colossians 2:9 NKJV tells us, “In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” The fullness of Deity resides in Him, and through the Holy Spirit, He now lives in you.

This is the mystery revealed to us in Colossians 1:27 NKJV: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” This is the true meaning of Christmas—not just remembering that Jesus was born, but understanding that He now dwells in your heart by faith.

Until this becomes your revelation, you haven’t truly known what Christmas is. The real celebration begins when you realize that God’s ultimate desire was fulfilled in you—that you would be filled with all the fullness of God, just as Jesus was.

So, as you rejoice today, do it with this understanding: Christ lives in you. His presence in your spirit is the glory and the victory of Christmas.

GO DEEPER
Colossians 1:26-27
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Titus 2:13-14
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Colossians 1:19
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

SPEAK
I rejoice in the divine truth that Jesus is the great God and our Saviour who has extricated humanity from death, hell and shame and brought life and immortality to light. I celebrate my oneness with Christ and His divine life in me, which means victory, strength, triumph, glory and dominion over sin, and the powers of darkness. Amen.
