The Origin of Jesus Christ Revealed?

Do you know that the first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336, during the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine (he was the first Christian Roman Emperor). A few years later, Pope Julius I officially declared that the birth of Jesus would be celebrated on the 25th December. Did you read that? The date 25th December, was not declared by God in the Holy Scriptures but Pope Julius I.

A question i have been asking, even now is Why was the birth date of Christ not revealed?
The simple answer is Heb 7:3 "without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually".

Jesus existed before he was made manifest in the flesh. He created all things and was not created.(John 1:1-3).

The definition of "Birthday" according to the dictionary is the anniversary of something's origin or foundation. Jesus on the other hand has no foundation but IS THE FOUNDATION. He has no origin but IS THE ORIGIN of all things.

Birthdays always remind us of growth or an increase in age. Jesus on the other hand till date does not grow nor decline, he does not increase nor decrease . Heb 13:8 says "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

We cannot fix a day to merry, dance and eat and call that celebrating a birthday  of someone whose date of birth we don't know. Deut 29:29 says "The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all."

We must celebrate him every day,every hour, every minute, if we say we love him by obeying His teachings, proclaiming His word to the lost. Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them" John 14:23.

For Him to make home with you, you must be born again. Time is running out, believe, receive and confess him now. God bless you. Shalom......Apostle Elikem Joshua Avotri
