People celebrate new year, but they don’t consider that they have lost one year of their lives. This is a fact that we don’t fear, but many people should do.
In the year 2016, many people were killed around the world in several terrorist attacks. However, God is always able to bring good from bad things. Many people knew how bad their believes are. Many people decided to change their ways and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Angels told the shepherds that the birth of Christ has brought peace to the earth. However, among many wars on earth we should realize that the meant peace is between heaven and earth. It is the reconciliation between human beings and the Lord.
In the old Testament, people worshipped to remember their suffering and separation with God. The rituals were meant to show how filthy and unclean were the people away from God. The peace between heaven and earth was clearly manifested when Jesus died on the cross.
Unfortunately, this peace was the beginning of other wars waged by the devil to deny the divinity of Christ, his crucifixion and resurrection. The birth of Jesus Christ is indeed a wonderful occasion to remember how He incarnated from the Holy Spirit and the virgin St. Mary. Let’s rejoice in Christmas and forget about all sorrows and pain that we had in 2016. God will always be with us in every single day.
