Udupi, 24 Dec 2012:
Christmas has arrived to bring happiness to the world
Christmas wishes to all.  It’s the feast of Christ’s birth,
a feast of peace and love all over the world.
It’s the significant feast for Christians. 
Jesus Christ was born into this world as Emmanuel that signifies
God dwells in us.

There was word in the beginning of earth, which became man and dwells in us. 
It’s the divine star shines on mankind.  It’s the Christmas.
Jesus Christ was not born in a palace and not any palatial mansion.
Instead, he was born in a manger at Bethlehem.
He was born in the midst of cattle as jewel shining in darkness with no one aware of.  The star attracts His faithful-flock.

 

 
Several rulers tried to cease new born Jesus.  King Herod wanted to see Christ and tried in vain.  His ego and jealousy did not get the sight of Star. The religious men were ignorant and did not weight upon the significance of star.  Meanwhile, the shepherds who were simple and poor found Jesus who led them to greater light.

 
We would not gain anything worthwhile, if we are restricted to Christmas celebrations at the manger, instead one has to find Him in our hearts.  If Jesus brings positive changes in families, then it’s worthwhile, otherwise it becomes mere celebrations.

 
Infant Jesus is everything that brings meaning in our life.  The peace and harmonious living reigns with gets release from our sufferings. The star shines upon the world.  The poor and enlightened shepherds gotten Christmas message inspiring us to find Jesus in our midst, as true follower of Jesus Christ to lead new life in earth.

 
Christmas greetings to one and all.
