Happy Birthday Jesus!
Love Your Enemies - Matthew 5:43-44
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
Never An Eye for an Eye - Matthew 5:38-39
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Forgive Your Brother from Your Heart - Matthew 18:21-22
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Since the year 336 most Christians have chosen December 25 as the date to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ (although both biblical and historical evidence strongly suggests that he was not born in the winter season).
Whether you worship Jesus Christ as God, or whether you respect him as a great teacher, let us take today to focus on his words of compassion, love, and service toward all humans.
Christmas is magical! I believe!
