Christmas : What It Means

Christmas is the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ. For varying reasons, it is celebrated all over the world by billions of people, and Christmas day is given as a work-free holiday in most countries of the world. Amongst the things that made Jesus Christ a very special person were his miracles, his healings, and his teachings, some of which I have discussed in this book, in relation to current events, situations and realities; with one of my intentions being, to contribute to the debate or long overdue discussions on the interdependency of the tripod of World Peace, Global Inclusiveness, and Tolerance of all people and religions. Jesus Christ taught on a wide variety of subjects, to furnish his followers (all Christians) the necessary knowledge required to get through life as good and righteous people, and to ultimately obtain salvation and eternal life. In Chapter 5 of this book, I have outlined his teachings on the followings topics, and hopefully you will find them useful: (1) Prayers (2) Bullying (3) Beatitudes (4) Love (5) Parables (6) Charity and Alms (7) Anxiety and Greed (8) Temptation and Power(5.2) BULLYING (extract) - Bullies come in all shapes, sizes, or groups, and can be encountered anywhere. The devastating effect they have in common is that they make the lives of their victims ‘hell on earth’… I can relate to the issue of bullying, having been a victim at various points in my life, and by outlining some of my experiences, I hope that other victims and potential victims, can be encouraged never to lose heart… see inside for details. “There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men”. (Proverbs 30 : 14)“32. The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 33. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.” (Psalm 37 : 32 – 33)
