Jesus, though innocent, chose silence and selflessness. Dead to self, He fulfilled the Father’s will, offering forgiveness to His mockers and crucifiers. This is the ultimate love we celebrate this season.

Leinad's death has left me with a deep sense of loss and regret but a different view on what Christmas is all about.

As I navigate the complexities of grief, I'm reminded of the importance of sharing the gospel with those around me.

I realize that I had been given a precious opportunity to share the love of Christ with a friend, and I squandered it but I can either choose to live in the past or amend my ways and talk about the gospel more.

It's the last days of November 2024 and Christmas approaches. I'm even more aware of the true meaning of the holiday more than I ever was. It's not just about presents, parties, and festivities -it's about the gift of salvation that God has given me through His Son, Jesus Christ.

It's about the love, mercy, and forgiveness that Christ offers to all who put their faith in Him. I am living even more intentionally, sharing the gospel with those around me and owning the responsibility of using my words and actions to point others to Christ.

From me to you This Christmas, I encourage you to take a step back and reflect on the true meaning of the festive season.

While having fun and enjoying with loved ones, save a soul by telling someone. about Jesus. Use your words and actions to point others to the gift of salvation that God gave us through the birth of his son, Jesus Christ.

It's a time for reflection and redemption. So friend, as written in Mark 16:15 (KJV) "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Don't get caught up in the hustle and bustle of Christmas, forgetting the gift that God has given us through His Son.
Let us use this holiday season as a time to reflect on our relationships, our priorities, and our faith.

Jesus is the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas

A Christmas Reflection: A Tale of Friendship, Regret, and Redemption.

Christmas should be a time for joy, giving, and celebration with loved ones. A season filled with laughter, warmth, and togetherness-But for me, it was a penetrating reminder of a friendship that was filled with adventures, happiness, and ultimately, regret.

It was Christmas Day, 10 years ago, when I met Leinad. We were introduced by a mutual friend at a holiday party, and from that moment on, we were inseparable. We spent days playing video games, exploring the city, and enjoying each other's company.

As the years went by, our friendship deepened, and we became more than just friends-we were brothers. I was a Christian, but that didn't matter because all I wanted was a free life, something different from my sheltered life as a child. Leinad wanted that too, his parents were divorced and he stayed with his aunt who treated him like dirt. The bond we shared made me think that bringing up Jesus might just ruin things.

This Christmas, as I reflect on our time together, regret and guilt is all I see because amidst all the fun, I now realize that Leinad was that one soul I missed a lifetime opportunity to share something much more valuable with.

Reminiscence People console me with "Oh, you two made good memories"- but of what use is that if we are not going to meet at the heavenly dinner on the last day? We had spent years galivanting, never for one day did we take the time to talk about faith or the state of our souls.

Now, I wonder where Leinad's soul is-heaven or hell? That thought scares me. The reality of the afterlife. I often think about what could have been if I had only shared the gospel with him. Would he have accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior?

Would our friendship have been even deeper and more meaningful? These are questions that I will never have the answers to, and it's a burden that I carry to this day What about Christmas?

A Crown of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)
Unto us, a child is born—
not in the courts of kings,
but beneath a canopy of stars,
His cradle, a manger,
His first throne, a humble bed of hay.
His shoulders bear the weight of forever,
a kingdom forged in love, not conquest.
He wears the names carved in eternity:
Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
The heavens proclaim Him,
their voices like rivers of light,
and the earth holds its breath,
for in His cry is the sound of redemption.
Unto us, a Son is given—
and the weary world awakens.
Through His mercy, chains are shattered,
through His reign, peace takes root.
The stars bow low as the King rises,
His light piercing the veil of every shadow.

Olugbile Christiana Aderinsola.

The poem is a free verse poem that beautifully reflects the central message of Isaiah 9:6,
focusing on the birth of Christ as a divine gift to the world.
It speaks of His humble beginning,
the eternal weight of His purpose, and the peace He brings.
The poem effectively conveys both
the human and divine nature of Christ, making it relatable and deeply reverent.

The Real Meaning of Christmas
Christmas isn't just about feel-good vibes or festive traditions. It's about the audacious claim that

God became human to redeem mankind– Jesus the Christ. This isn't just a nice story or a cute

Christmas song; it's a game-changer and a reminder that the Lord's birth is the reason for your salvation, Christian.

Jesus brought:
1. Hope for the hopeless: Jesus entered a world ravaged darkness, oppression, and
despair. He brought light, freedom, and redemption.

2. Salvation for all: Jesus' arrival signaled that anyone, regardless of background or
mistakes, could experience new life, forgiveness, and reconciliation with God.

3. Disruption of the status quo: Jesus challenged the religious elite, social norms, and power structures. He stood for justice, equality, and love.

As the holiday season descends upon us, the familiar sights and sounds of Christmas fill the air.

Twinkling lights adorn city streets, festive tunes play on repeat, and families gather 'round the tree.

Amidst the warmth and cheer, should live a reminder– ‘Someone else needs to hear about
Jesus.’ You can tell them how he was born to die for their sins.

The world needs more light that you can imagine. Only Jesus can bring such light. Fun fact: Jesus lives in you. So technically, you are the light of the world. You've got the Bible and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. So, get to work.

The true meaning of Christmas isn't about:
- Consumerism
- Family gatherings (as wonderful as they are)
- Holiday cheer
- Cultural traditions

It's about:
- The divine becoming human
- The hope of transformation
- His promise of eternal life
Embracing the real meaning of Christmas requires discomfort. It demands:
- Acknowledging our brokenness
- Surrendering to a higher power
- Confronting our own biases and injustices

This Christmas, let's peel away the commercial wrapping and confront the raw, radical truth.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Christmas: Beyond the tinsels and trimmings

Last holiday season, I walked into a trendy coffee shop and was greeted by a sign that read: “Merry Christmas! (No Jesus Allowed)”.

I ordered my latte and asked the barista, “What's with the sign?” She smiled sheepishly and said, "We don't want to offend anyone.”

I couldn't help but wonder: what's so offensive about Jesus' birth– on his supposed birthday!?
Like the barista, many have bought the essence of Christmas with a make-believe
galivanting period after years of work.

Don't get me wrong—holidays are for fun, but is that all there is to Christmas, or is there something else?

The answer lies in the untamed, unconventional story of Christmas.
This might be the most controversial article you've ever read. Ready your mind– let's go!

The Scandal of Christmas Jesus' birth was a scandal in its time. It challenged the social norms, religious elite, and power structures of ancient Palestine. The Messiah, born in a manger with animals as witnesses, didn't fit the expectations of a mighty savior.

This unexpected arrival brought hope to the hopeless, freedom to the oppressed, and redemption to a world in desperate need.
Fast-forward to today, Christmas has become a commercialized celebration. There has either
been a mix-up between the holidays and the celebration of the Saviour's birth such that people now see Christmas as a free time to do as they please.

Most times, I feel the structures of ancient Palestine left the societal norm that Jesus’ birth was a scandal and not worth recognition or celebration for its significance in the minds of our fathers, who then passed it to us.

Either way, what happened, happened and the happenings surrounding his birth only proves
God's will for mankind– Salvation. So I'll ask: If the birth of a child guaranteed your salvation, is that birth worth celebrating?

If yes, what remarkable ways will you celebrate such a birth?
