What kind of
liquid is in this bottle? What do we
normally use it for? We use oil for
cooking. In Bible times, olive oil was
used for cooking, but the best olive oil was used for a special task of
anointing. A prophet, priest, or king
would have this kind of oil poured on his head to show that God called him to
do some special job. The people were
supposed to listen to this person because God had given them that task.
The word Christ or
Messiah both mean “one who is anointed.”
Jesus was given a special task by God to preach, to be a priest, and to
reign as king. He is in heaven ruling
things right now. There was no other
man like Him!
Tomorrow is
Christmas, the day we remember Jesus coming into the world. He came to be our Messiah—chosen by God-- to
do a special task only he could do. Let
us praise Him every day of the year for all that he is and all he has done for
us.
“God Rest You Merry Gentlemen” verse 1
God rest
you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing
you dismay.
Remember Christ
our Saviour
Was born on
Christmas day,
To save us
all from Satan's power
When we
were gone astray.
