As we celebrate Christmas it is the perfect time to be intimate with God and, God's willing: for us to act like God, showing the ultimate divinity of Jesus Christ being lived out in the world today. We see the reality of God playing "If" when we reverse the equation, imagining God asking Himself: "If I were human, what would I do, how would I act, what would I say?"

Sacred Scripture / Holy Bible says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word was made flesh, He lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory that is His as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth." - John 1:1,14 -

The axiomatic logic and fact that God chose to become a human being holds many wonderful mysteries. These have fed academic professors, philosophers, scholastic, theologians for 2,000 years, encouraging and causing them to ponder just what it means that God was a human being - and a human being was God!.

Among these mysteries is the reality that Jesus was not a secular and worldly power player. He did not smite his enemies. He did not destroy cities. He did not rule in a secular and worldly manner. But at the same time Jesus showed his supremacy over the Wicked and Evil One, that is, his dominion over sin, his triumph over Satan and his total power over death. And he did all of this without using the awesomeness of his divinity. 

"Immediately afterwards the Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness and he remained there for forty days, and was tempted by Satan. Jesus was with the wild beasts, and the angels looked after him." - Mark 1:12-13 -; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 -

Hence, Jesus showed us that evil and wicked ways, sin, have no power over him. Satan and death are not defeated by force, power or might but by the Holy Spirit, that is: love, joy, peace, patience and kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control.

If I were God, my temptation would be to confront the powers of evil on their own terms, following a motto of "Fight fire with fire". And I would definitely fail because the source of wicked and evil's strength rests precisely on the ideas, that is, abused of power, abused of might, force and strength are what really matter.

What Jesus did to show his mastery over evil, sin, Satan and death was to went around them, isolated them, and showed them to be the hollow, worthless manikins that they are.

When confronted with "For I was hungry, thirsty, and a stranger; you gave me food, drink, and welcome me" - Matt. 25:35-36 - Satan has nothing to say! When met with "Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing". - Luke 23:34 - sin has no room! When evil meets "Love your enemies" - Matt. 5:44 - evil evaporates! And when Jesus rose from the tomb "just as he said" he would - Matt. 28:6 - death is destroyed! AMEN! Glory and Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

The most divine and profound thing Jesus ever did was to kneel down in front of the apostles at the Last Supper and wash their feet. This was the "Ultimate Act" of God being God by loving and serving his fellow human beings. This humble act also teaches us that our role in life is not only to try to placate God, to be ruled by God or to be afraid of God. Our role in life is: God's willing: to act like God. We are to go out and play and act "If" all of the time in imitation of God.

Perhaps, this is how we celebrate Christmas it is the perfect time for us: God's willing: to act like God, showing the ultimate divinity of Jesus Christ being lived out in the world today. That is: We are to find those who need help, confidence and love and tell them by our words and deeds, actions that they are our brothers and sisters and, as such, are loved.

MERRY CHRISTMAS - GOD IS WITH US. - AMEN!

How? And in what way, when it come to understanding matters: What I was always being told is: There are ways and preferences to comprehend all matters, whether it is of spirituality and unspirituality.

Firstly, in a literally manner: That is, used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

Secondly, in a humanly manner: That is, from a human point of view, in a humanly manner, by human means; within ability; with human feeling or kindness.

Thirdly, in a spiritually manner: That is, in a way that relates to or affects the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.

Finally, in an unspiritual manner: That is, not spiritual. But secular and worldly.

Hence, these two books (The Gospel According To Apostle/Saint Luke & The Acts Of The Apostles) of the New Testament were closely associated, and being call 'a history of the rise of Christianity'. Therefore, I faithfully believe that it is utmost importance for us; all human beings to comprehend these two books, [ All the others Old Testament and New Testament books are equally importance, but as for now, we will start studying and read these two books first, that is, being call 'a history of the rise of Christianity', before continuing the other books.] to the best of our knowledge and enabling our spirit to acknowledges: "Who is God, and how, and in what ways, that is, God is with us." Amen! 

It is to the Lord Jesus Christ that all the prophets bear this witness: that all who believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name. - Acts 10:43 -

It is true, God sent his word to the people of Israel, and it was to them that the Good News of peace was brought by Jesus Christ - But Jesus Christ is Lord of all men. - Acts 10:36 -

The Lord Jesus Christ, promised to us that our mission on this earth is really and utmost importance for our own salvation.

"I tell you solemnly, there is no one who has left house, wife, brothers, parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God who will not be given repayment many times over in this present time, in the world to come, Eternal Life." - Luke 18:28-30 -

'Why do you call Me, "Lord, Lord" and not do what I say?' - Luke 6:46 -

'Fear God and praise Him because the time has come for Him to sit in judgement; worship the maker of heaven and earth and sea and every water-spring.' - Revelation 14:7 -

We are all aware who it was that said: Vengeance is mine; I will repay. And again: The Lord will judge his people. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. - Hebrews 10:31 -
