I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. Jo10.14 NKJV
When people speak of the spirit of Christmas, they often mean some very different things. "Tis the season to be jolly," or charitable or, perhaps they refer to some childhood wonderment associated with this magical season of the year. There are probably as many descriptions of the spirit of Christmas as there are presents under a rich man’s Christmas tree.
I should think that the Spirit of Christmas is none other than the Spirit of Christ, the very same Spirit Jesus sends to live in our hearts when we trust Him. The Spirit of Christ is the Holy Spirit and He is the means God uses to set us apart as His dear children. We often tell people they need to get into the spirit of Christmas, when truthfully it is the Spirit of Christmas who needs to get into them.
When a person is possessed by the Spirit of Christ they begin to possess all the distinctions of Jesus. He is not just the Savior, He becomes my Savior, not just the Lord, He becomes my Lord, my good Shepherd. 12/6/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
