The Christmas Story

When God created man, He had wanted man to reign on earth. When God created man, He had wanted man to rule over all His creations. When God created man, He had wanted man to enjoy all that God had created. When God created man, God had wanted to fellowship with man and wanted man to live forever!

Unfortunately, man believed in the satan's lie and forfeited the glory of God. With that one act, man had given up what was rightfully his. Man was cut of from God for there was sin in man.

God knew man would succumb to satan's lie and He had a masterplan to redeem all of mankind. God proclaimed that there will come a Seed of Eve that will crush the head of satan and restore man to the place as if he had not fallen.

Since then, satan was afraid of this Seed that will crush his head and destroy him completely. He was not aware of who the true Seed will be. As a result, he caused the elder son of Adam to kill the younger son of Adam for he thought that the younger of Adam was the Seed. He continued his plan of destruction to mankind especially to women for it will be a Seed of Eve that will crush him completely. He mastered the plan to completely corrupt mankind by sending fallen angels to cohabit with women and to produce giants so that the Seed will also be corrupted, i.e. the Seed's blood was to be tainted with sin.

God already knew the devil's plan and to preserve mankind, He caused the flood to come over all the earth and preserve the lives of Noah and his wife and his three sons and his three daughter-in-laws for they were the only ones that were fully human. When the flood had completely subsided, God proclaimed that He will never flood the earth again.

The devil heard the proclamation and continued his plan of corrupting mankind. He continued his plan of destruction for he knew not who the Seed was.

Then one day, God proclaimed that Abraham's Seed will destroy satan. As a result of that, satan tried to get other men to sleep with Sarah. However, satan's plan was once again destroyed by God for God foreknew all satan's plans and God is always ahead of the devil. God raised a group of people to destroy all the that the devil had created and this group of people was later known as Israelis.

However, the Israelis didn't and couldn't completely destroy all that the devil had created. Finally come the time for the Seed to be born.

More than two thousand years ago, a baby boy was born from a virgin Mary. He was born to die for all mankind for He is the kinsmen Redeemer. On that night, Jesus was born, the Saviour of the world. He was born to redeem mankind from all his sins. He was born to completely destroy all that the devil had created, pain, diseases, sorrows, and death. That day that Jesus was born is now known as Christmas day.
