The Lost Meaning of Christ's Birth
If we look back at this event of 2000 years ago, alone the search for shelter by Jesus' parents was a path of suffering. Every mother can empathize with what it must mean to be in the last stages of pregnancy and having to walk or ride long distances on a donkey from inn to inn, begging for shelter. Over and over again, they were confronted with the lack of compassion for a woman about to give birth.
In the end, the child was born under the simplest of conditions "in a stable in Bethlehem," as it is said. In the makeshift shelter, the animals left the manger to the little family. Donkey and ox provided warmth in the cold stable in Bethlehem. The straw of the donkey and ox was the bed for the newborn child. And thus, the Co-Regent of the Kingdom of God entered an earthly garment to accomplish His great mission as Jesus of Nazareth.
What did He teach us? He taught us the step-by-step fulfillment of the Ten Commandments of God and the Sermon on the Mount. He taught love for neighbor in the Sermon on the Mount and lived it as an example for us. Above all, what He brought home to us was the message of God's love for us human beings, His children.
And so, Christmastime, in particular, calls on us to be reverent and respectful before the heavenly majesty, which came to us human beings and, on the cross, brought redemption to all souls and people. Ultimately, the path back to the heavenly Father's house is ensured for each individual by way of the Redeemer-deed of the Christ of God.
But many people can no longer believe at all in the birth of the Son of God, because the great event has been embellished and sentimentalized with wax figurines, wooden figurines, mangers, children's Christmas songs and the like. Who trivialized the birth of the Son of God to such an extent?
The man Jesus was a strong, grown man, no longer a little child! He, the greatest prophet of all time, bore testimony for the One God of love.
The risen Christ of God is the mighty majesty, the Co-Regent of the heavens, and He sits at the right hand of the eternal Father. And what do the Christians do? They revolve around figurines in the manger made of wax and wood!
Doesn't this behavior seem a bit odd to us? Jesus, the "babe" in the manger, who cannot yet speak, and then later, revered as the dead man on the cross? Isn't He thus condemned to silence? ! But Jesus does not remain silent. His word is valid, yesterday and today: "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock" These are the words of Christ, and much more! But His teachings, especially the sovereign teaching of the Sermon on the Mount, are still disparaged and vilified as utopian and unlivable! Why?
If we really think about it, then the whole hoo-ha around the "manger" and the "babe" shows very similar traits. Should the Great Spirit, the Co-Regent of the heavens, be remembered in this way? It should be clear to everyone that the great event has truly nothing to do with a child's cradle that's hauled down from the attic.
Christmas is the darkest time of the year, and so, we also light candles as symbols of light. For the light has come to us. And we also decorate conifer trees in our garden with lights.
Because the sap in the trees can be compared to the blood that flows in our bodies, we don't cut down any trees in which the sap is still flowing. We respect the life, also in the trees. There are so many artificial trees that no one needs to cut one down in nature.
We like to light a lot of candles, as a sign that the light has come to us. We also like a certain amount of sparkle in our rooms, by all means with a bit of glitter, because it brings to mind the fact that the eternal homeland is filled with light, filled with the suns of the Being, filled with warmth. The Kingdom of God is seven dimensional it shines in the most beautiful colors of the eternal Being. During this dark season, why shouldn't we put a few pretty decorative ornaments on our table or on the holiday tree? Everything true is allowed but always; what is important is that we are aware of why we celebrate the birth of the Son of God.
We come together and reflect on the Redeemer-spark of the Christ of God in us and live in the awareness that God dwells within, in each person, just as Jesus of Nazareth taught us.
Do we now understand why the betrayal of Jesus, the Christ, took place? Because the traditions, which we may also have been part of, or still are, are not Christian. It's also worthwhile to think about this.
And, what may we wish for our sisters and brothers all over the world for the days of Christmas, and also for the animals all over the world? Peace, peace, the peace which this world does not know.
