Dear
Friends,
As you well know, we are getting
closer to my birthday. Every year there is a
celebration in my honour and I think that this year the
celebration will be repeated.
During this time there are many people shopping for gifts,
there are many radio announcements, TV commercials and in every
part of the world
everyone is talking about my birthday getting closer and
closer. It is really very nice to know, that at least once a
year, some people think of me.
As you know, the celebration of
my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed
to understand and be thankful of all that I did for
them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for
the celebration.
Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they
don't know the meaning of the celebration. I remember that last
year there was a great feast in my honour. The dinner table was
full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and
chocolates. The decorations were
exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped
gifts.
But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited.
I was the guest of honour and they didn't remember to send me
an invitation. The party was for me, but when
that great day came, I was
left outside, they closed the door in my face...
and I wanted to be with them and share
their table.
In truth, that didn't surprise
me because in the last few years many
have closed their doors to me. Since I wasn't
invited, I decided to enter
the party without making any noise. I went in
and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were
some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at
everything. They were having a grand time.
To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a
long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He
seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to
him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" as if the party
were in his honor!
At midnight all the people began to hug each
other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and do
you know, no-one hugged me.
Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them
one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I
looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would
you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did
not get one?
I then understood that I was unwanted at that
party and quietly left. Every year it gets worse. People
only remember the gifts, the parties, to
eat and drink, and nobody remembers me.
I would like this Christmas that you allow me to
enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact
that almost two thousand years ago
I came
to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save
you.
Today, I only want that you
believe this with all your heart. I want to share
something with you. As many didn't invite me to their
party, I
will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no
one has ever imagined, a spectacular party. I'm still making
the final arrangements.....
Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an
invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I
will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden
letters in my great guest book.
Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party.
Those who don't answer the invite will be left outside. Be
prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my
great party.
See you
soon.
I Love you! Yes
YOU!!!
Jesus
