A Blessed Christmas to all who is reading this… today is Christmas Day and i’m sure last night most of you went out to somewhere to enjoy the holiday on Christmas Eve… but when all of you are enjoying and having fun… did you ask yourself what is the true meaning of Christmas?
It is to mark the birth of the saviour, our lord Jesus Christ.
So what the birth of Christ?
Jesus is God and man’s only saviour
Non believers argue that Jesus is not God. nor the son of God.. he is just a very great man and a great teacher..
I disagree.
I remember 2 years ago when i was at Christmas Service in my Church, the guest speaker told us there can be many reason why we christians claims that Jesus is God but he only need to give 3 simple reasons to prove it.

IS JESUS TELLING THE TRUTH THAT HE IS GOD?
Lunatic, Liar or Lord
IF Jesus was not telling the truth:
He must be a Lunatic - Jesus is a not God. but her mistakenly believed that he was.
But is this true? With all the teaching he brought forth, the things he said, even non believers say he is a very great man and teacher… how can he be a Lunatic? If Jesus believed that his claims about himself were true, and they weren’t, then he was a delusional egomaniac. If an ordinary person believes himself to be God incarnate, then that person is, put quite simply, insane.
Again, if this were the case, if Jesus taught that this is who he was and was mistaken, then he was as bad a teacher as there has ever been.
So Jesus is Not a Lunatic.
OR
He must be a Liar - Jesus was not God, He knew it, but he say so anyway.
but is this true? Jesus’ claims about himself were so central to his teachings, though, that if they were lies then he can hardly be deemed a great teacher. If Jesus set out to systematically deceive people about who he was and how their sins were to be dealt with, then he was among the worst teachers that have ever walked the earth.
IF this 2 are false… then he must be
LORD
The third thing that we might say about Jesus is that his claims were true, in which case he was, and is, Lord. If Jesus believed that his claims about himself were true and they were, then Jesus was not only a great human being, but was also God on Earth.
If we take Jesus seriously, then we must take Jesus’ claims about himself seriously. We cannot say that Jesus was a great teacher whom we admire and look up to, but that the most fundamental element of his teachings was a monumental error. Jesus was not a great, but merely human, teacher; he was either much less than this, or much more.
In summary:
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. … Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was and is God.”
CS Lewis.
The question now is not about Jesus being God since it has already been logically proven above.
it is about You… whether you want to accept him as God and your personal saviour…
If you are willing.. seek help from your fellow christians friends. Confess your sins to him and thou shall be saved and thou shall not perish but have everlasting life is the kingdom of Heaven.
John 3:16-17 (King James Version)
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Amen
