Christmas zeal is a result of belief and its emotional responses last all year long.
Christmas spirit is the common term used to descrabe manipulated emotions that last about a month.
Divine, eternal love appointed Christ's arrival in Bethlehem as Emmanuel so that God could be with the human race to solve their biggest problem--separation from God.
Christmas questions:
1. Has divine love appointed Christ's arrival in the heart?
2. Is love returning to heaven all year long?
3. Do celebrations last about a month, or are they all year long?
Philippians 2:6-11:
"Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
