The Eternal Gift
Jesus the Creator of all things
Boxing Day does not stop putting one in deep reminiscence of the eternal gift: that Divine donation to all mankind for the restoration of Adamic walking cadaver to eternal life. The process of this Divine giving culminated in the Emmanuelisation of the Second Member of the Godhead, celebrated globally on the Christmas Day, the 25th of December. It is quite true that we cannot, from scriptural documentation, state categorically when exactly Christ was given to the world.
This Gift is the best of all gifts to come from the LORD God. Christmas signifies the phenomenal event of God, the Creator, becoming Man. Many stories credit the Christmas of December 25th to Nimro-Semiramic invention of a day marking the theistic celebration of Nimrod, the sun god and not forgetting the moon goddess, Nimrod’s wife, Semiramis. The choice of 25th December is credited to Romish Church. Most people, including Christians, believe the origin of Christmas is the pagan feasts to worship the solar god Sol Invictus, Saturn’s god Saturnalia, or the Persian solar god adopted by the Romans, Mithras. Academically, this view is also known as historical religions theory. The theory suggests the Catholic Church in Rome, Italy, began celebrating Christmas on December 25 in 336 CE to replace the pagan celebrations.

The Roman Catholic Church, the importer of Nimro-Semiramic religious feast, is truly guilty of so many faux pas didacticism of the Scripture, including the inventions and fixing of Christian festival dates. Has the Christ of the Bible got anything to do with the deification of Nimrod? Certainly not, but owing to the facticity of The Nativity, and because we do not have true and categorical documentation of His date of birth, there is really nothing idolatry about the December 25 day for the celebration of the fulfilment of Isaiah 9:6.
We understand that Christ, according to the Bible, 3) “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men” (John 1:3-4). This Johannine script agrees totally with Pauline 16) “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:16-17). It is written concerning the Author of creationism: 1 “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2) And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made” (Genesis 2:1-2).
Having created all things including time and measurements of time, the LORD God, Jesus Christ, owns all. If He truly owns all, the 25th of December, another measure of time, belongs to Christ. What day of every year is not found in day one to the day seven creationism of Genesis chapter one? Christ began creating in Day One through to Day Six; and the immediate following Day Seven, He rested. Right? Does that not tell everyone that the Creator owns all days of human existence? Arguably, the actual day of the LORD’s birth is lost to humans. If on the 25th December, the entire globe decided to honour Him, the LORD God, with the celebration of this eternal gift, what is the abominable thing about it, knowing, especially, pretty well that it is the Owner of all days that is being celebrated?
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given
What momentous stance this Gift is can be best understood from the Davidic “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me” (Psalm 51:5). This leads to the ominous “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23); which eventually leads to the annihilative “The soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezekiel 18:28). From the day of the original sin of Eden, man had become nothing less than a walking cadaver. Matthew 18:14 reads, “Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” The only way God will ignite the practicality of this verse is definitely by putting the soteriology into force. It is for this reason we have Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” The ‘child,’ yeled (yeh’-led): ‘something born, i.e. a lad or offspring’; is quite different from the ‘Son’ ben (bane): ‘(used widely) a son (as a builder of the family name)’. The credentials of this ‘Son’ is too divine to be an offspring. The ‘Son’ is all at once the “Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” This is the Personage of John 1:3-4; Colossians 1:16-17 and Genesis 2:1-2 – the LORD God of the Bible.
The Christ, the Creator took the responsibility for man’s creation, and decided to save the lost Adamic soul. No angelic might could successfully manage the soteriological process and come out victorious. Only God can do it. The world must receive the Divine donation of God the Son. This is Jehovah’s greatest gift from eternity to all eternity. God gifted Himself on Christmas Day to the sinning world. Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Merry Christmas and do have a wonderful Boxing Day! Amen!!
Get Jesus initiated by getting born again: pray this prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say,
“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
