TJ News Nigeria reports that as Christmas approaches once again, it is not merely a time for festive decorations, bright lights, and joyous gatherings—it is, most importantly, a sacred season for reflection. At the heart of this holiday lies the miraculous life of Jesus Christ, whose birth, life, death, and resurrection forever transformed the world.
Christmas: A Time to Remember Divine Miracles
Christmas Day offers a divine opportunity to express heartfelt gratitude to God for the miracle of Jesus Christ’s birth. It is a day to commemorate the moment when the eternal Word took on human form to redeem mankind. As Psalm 105:5 (NLT) reminds us, “Remember the wonders He has performed, His miracles, and the rulings He has given.” This call to remembrance is especially powerful during the Christmas season.

From His conception to His ascension, every chapter of Jesus’ life reflects supernatural intervention, divine purpose, and heavenly fulfillment.
The Prophecy: A Virgin Shall Conceive
The prophetic roots of Christmas can be traced back to Isaiah 7:14, where God said through the prophet:

“The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).”
This promise came during the tense reign of King Ahaz, providing hope amidst turmoil. Centuries later, this prophecy was fulfilled in Luke 1:30–34, where the angel Gabriel told Mary:
“You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name Him Jesus.”

This marked the beginning of the most miraculous life ever lived.
The Birth of Jesus: Humility and Glory Combined
Luke 2:1–19 recounts the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, not in a palace but in a manger. The angelic host appeared to shepherds, proclaiming good news of great joy for all people. This heavenly announcement revealed God’s favor not toward the powerful, but toward the humble and lowly.
The Christmas story is a reminder that God’s miracles often come in unexpected ways, wrapped in humility, and introduced through quiet obedience.
Jesus’ Miraculous Life and Ministry

Jesus’ ministry was marked by wonders:
-
Turning water into wine (John 2)
-
Healing the sick and raising the dead (John 11)
-
Feeding multitudes with loaves and fish (Matthew 14)
-
Calming storms and walking on water (Mark 6)
Each act testified to His divinity and fulfilled Old Testament promises.
The Crucifixion: A Sacrificial Miracle
Jesus’ death was no ordinary execution. Luke 23:44–49 describes supernatural signs that accompanied the crucifixion:
-
Darkness covered the land
-
The temple veil tore in two
-
The centurion proclaimed, “Surely this was a righteous man”
These events showed that Christ’s death was not defeat, but victory over sin.
The Resurrection: Triumph Over Death
On the third day, Jesus rose from the dead. Matthew 28:1–8 reveals the astonished women who found an empty tomb and encountered an angel who declared:
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.”
The resurrection confirmed Christ’s divine authority and secured eternal life for all believers.
The Ascension: A Glorious Departure
Acts 1:9–11 describes how Jesus ascended into heaven before His disciples. As they watched, two angels declared:
“This same Jesus… will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
This event was not an end, but a promise—a foreshadowing of His Second Coming.
Anticipating the Second Coming of Christ
Matthew 25:31 affirms that Jesus will return in glory, accompanied by angels and seated on His glorious throne to judge the nations.
For Christians, the joy of Christmas is also rooted in anticipation: the Savior who came as a baby will return as King of Kings.
