"So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:6-7
Prepare a place for him in your life tonight...
Forget a bit about your pains, bills... and Welcome him this Christmas...
Be humble and he will settle in your heart...
Be peaceful and he will protect you...
"I believed; therefore I have spoken."

From Now To Christmas... Everyday a Word!
"Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother." Mark 3:34-35
Where do we stand from Jesus's words??!! Do we love our very own brothers, sisters, mothers or fathers?!
Let's pray this Christmas for the disrupted families, and ask the Holy Child to re-light their hearts and minds with understanding and forgiveness!!!
If we do think that the problems between us and them are big, let's step down... they might show smaller!!!

"Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming." Matthew 25:13
"Preparation" means that He won't ask you about the gifts you have got or bought for Christmas, but how many souls you have saved, and how much love and forgiveness you gave away...

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." Matthew 23:27

"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." John 15:1-2
Some sweet dried fruits are traditionally used in Christmas presents... Lets create a new tradition by giving away a "fruit of love" to everyone...
Let's make our Christmas meaningful!!

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it." Luke 9:24
No egoism is accepted while you are or if you want to be on God's freeway... lots of patience and experience is needed... because if you do think of yourself, your pains or gains, you will be automatically kicked out!!

"Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:37
Will we block this Christmas our intention to judge everyone, or even using someone's else prejudice??!!
Will we stop condemning everyone based on our rule of superiority??!!
Will we stay silent this Christmas and forgive ourselves to be able to forgive others???

"But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them." Luke 6:32
How far are we from this today?!! What era do we live in??
All bonds are almost lost... families, cousins, mates, friends... everything has to be for a price!
We might be asking just for acceptance, because forgiveness is too far!!!
Will you close your eyes this Christmas and think of the ones you "don't love"... imagine yourself giving them a hug... I assure that you will not die, even that the devil will make you feel it's disgusting!!!!

"No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out from the new does not match the old." Luke 5:36
Many of us try to show some good changes toward God while keeping old bad attitudes... even thinking sometimes that we are protected and right...
There is nothing called partial in faith... you believe or you don't... you love or you don't...
There shouldn't be areas of darkness in your heart, if not you are just keeping up a hidden place for devil...

"Why are you reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, 'Rise up and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins" - He said to the man who was paralyzed, " I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." Luke 5:22-24
Healing his soul or his body?!
What do you think is the more important?
Walking while being a slave to sins or being paralyzed but free?
Think and choose!

"And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours." And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'"" Luke 4:6-8
How much did he give us so we even forget our name and who we are?!!
How much of artificial glow did he give to our image, so we think we are better than others?!!
Will we understand one day the quality of his materialistic toys , and convince ourselves that whenever we will use them, we head automatically down to hell!!!

"And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father's business?"" Luke 2:49
Jesus's message is very clear!! Few and firm words were enough to explain a sacred mission and revealing a very strong commitment! How many times do we have to repeat words and sentences and the mission is: cover a lie with another lie(s)??? When will we clear our vision, aim the target of our life without looking around?!!

"So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us." And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger." Luke 2:15
How simple and easy, but full of meanings... a King in a manger, with no arms or soldiers... no gold or ministers... no castles or servants... just because all his power is in being that humble... Will we have the shepherds's enthusiasm to go, see and experience what God has made known to us??!!

"Then Herod, when he saw he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all it's districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men." Matthew 2:16
A typical model of discordance in thoughts and plans between God and temporary leaders... Jesus needed no thrown or crowns... didn't use weapons to reign... he funded with his innocent blood the school of love, opening the door to everyone who wants to register his name in eternity...

Jesus said: "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them." Matthew 11:5
Christmas is not a day in which we remember a holy child, but a King's journey who saved us by lighting the world... the hearts and souls...

القيامة
"فأطلب إليكم أنا الأسير في الربّ أن تسلكوا كما يحقّ للدعوة التي دعيتم بها. بكلّ تواضعٍ ووداعةٍ وطول أناةٍ محتملين بعضكم بعضاً في المحبّة. مجتهدين أن تحفظوا وجدانية الروح برباط السلام. جسدٌ واحدٌ وروحٌ واحدٌ كما دُعيتم أيضاً في رجاء دعوتكم الواحد. ربٌّ واحدٌ إيمانٌ واحدٌ معموديةٌ واحدةٌ إلهٌ وآبٌ واحدٌ للكلّ الذي على الكلّ وبالكلّ وفي كلّكم. ولكن لكلّ واحدٍ منّا أعطيت النعمة حسب قياس هبة المسيح. لذلك يقول. إذ صعد إلى العلاء سبى سبياً وأعطى الناس عطايا. وأمّا أنّه صعد فما هو إلا أنّه نزل أيضاً أولاً إلى أقسام الأرض السفلى. الذي نزل هو الذي صعد أيضاً فوق جميع السموات لكي يملأ الكلّ " من رسالة بولس الرسول إلى أفسس 4: 1-10
بقيامتك يا سيّدي سقط الخوف واندحرت مملكة أبو الكذّابين... فيا مالئ الكلّ املأنا إيماناً وحبّاً وليفض روحك القدّوس نوراً على قلوبنا الغارقة في الظلام.
المسيح قام حقاً قام

الجمعة العظيمة
إذا كان البريء قد قتل، لا بل وشنّع به، فلا تعجبنّ من ظلمٍ يطالك أو ألمٍ يعتريك... فما من تلميذٍ أعظم من المعلّم...
أمّا إذا كان قلبك يعتصر على المصلوب وينفجر غضباً على معذّبيه، فلا تنسى أنّنا في كلّ يومٍ نجلده بطمعنا، نطعنه بمكرنا، ونصلبه بكرهنا... لكنّ أعمالنا وأفكارنا تسيل هاربة في قنوات النسيان، أمّا حكمنا على الآخرين فلا يتورّع عن إنزال أشدّ العقوبات...
أغفر لنا يا سيّد لأنّنا لا نعرف ماذا نفعل...

الظافر
لا بدّ للمتفرّج على هذا المشهد أو القارئ المتأمّل للإنجيل المقدّس من النظر في عمق وصلابة تحرّك السيّد المسيح صوب الهيكل... فالعارف باسرار وتكوينات العقول هو من كوّنها وحده... وقد يكون من حسن حظ الناس في تلك الأيام أنّ أحداً لم يقمع تظاهرتهم أو اتّهمهم بالإنتماء إلى فريقٍ دون آخر... فهذا التحرّك العفوي جاء على أثر الصيت الذائع للسيّد الشافي... الناس مرضى بالروح والجسد، وقد ملّوا من المتحكّمين بعيشهم وغفران ذلاتهم والممسكين بمكرٍ بعواطفهم وأفكارهم، فرفعوا سعف النخل وأغصان الزيتون ورفرفت ثيابهم أعلاماً وقال الجميع بصوتٍ واحد: مباركٌ الآتي باسم الربّ... خلّصنا... لقد مللنا الظلم والألم... خلّصنا... وهم يعلمون أنّ هذا الملك ليس محاطاً بعسكرٍ أو مثقلاً بالتيجان والذهب... هو متواضع وأقرب للشعب من أنفسهم...
اهتزّت عروش في المقلب الآخر... النائمين على حرير الظلم والغبن خافوا على ملكٍ زمني متعفّنٍ فانٍ... هذا يشكّل خطراً فدعونا ننتهي منه... وهنا تظهر حكمة من لا يريد مجداً دنيوياً وبرهان على انّ السيّد ضحّى طوعاً بنفسه لأجل المتألمين من الخطيئة المميتة... فهو يعرف ما يثير غيظ القابعين خلف الأسوار، وبذلك أجبرهم على تنفيذ "الفداء"...
منذ تلك اللحظة إلى ال"أصلبه" لم يتغيّر الكثير... عذّبوه وقتلوه بحقدٍ لا مثيل له كي يخلّصهم بمحبّة صادقةٍ لا مثيل لها...
