Can you imagine a world without color? Black and White only.

Give example: Food, Clothes, Toys, Lantern, Decoration, House (Magkwento or Jokes)
It’s boring, sad, walang kabuhay-buhay
Colors also affect our mood
We cannot celebrate Christmas without color
Ano ba naaalala natin sa Color Red specially sa mga bata? Sta. Claus kasi nakared
sya, si Rudolf the red nose reindeer. Marami taung naalala pag red in Christmas, and
sometimes na naaalala natin sa color red in Christmas ay hindi pa ang tamang
kahulugan ng red sa Christmas
COLORS OF CHRISTMAS (RED)
What is the color of Christmas?
Red, Green, Gold, White, Blue
Introduction:
By studying the Colors of Christmas, we redeem the true meaning of Christmas.
Every Color in Christmas represents a very powerful meaning
Today we will talk about the color red in Christmas
We cannot celebrate Christmas without color red.
Red is the Center of Christmas
Red does not represent Sta. Claus or Rudolf
Red represents the Blood of Jesus
Sino dito takot sa dugo? Huwag kayong mag-alala hindi natin pag-aaralan ang dugo o
kong ano ang dugo ni Jesus.
Blood represents the Blood of Jesus, but more than that it represents our Salvation,
and that’s the heart and theme of Christmas.
Matthew 1:21
And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, [a] for he will save his people
from their sins.”
At the very beginning Jesus declared as our savior
Salvation comes to everyone of us because Jesus came
“Kaya may Christmas ngayon para maligtas ang bawat isa sa atin”
Luke 2 The Birth of Jesus
In the town of David – He is from the lineage of Kings
Kingly origin
Savior – somebody who will deliver the Israel from the hands of Rome
Lord, Messiah, Christ – The one who makes decision and call the shots

But, a baby? (Magkwento or Joke)
Hebrews 2:14
Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also
became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying
could he break the power of the devil, who had [a] the power of death.
Jesus needs to be born as a human, so that he could share to humanity and could
represent us to God.
And also, He could be a perfect mediator for us to God. (Explain)
Hindi natapos ang Christmas story dun sa manger or sa pagkapanganak ni Jesus.
Jesus grew up and the time comes he destroy the enemy, the work of evil.
Hebrews 2:14b
… For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power
of the devil, who had[a] the power of death.
Our God is a victorious God.
Luke 2:10
but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that
will bring great joy to all people.

 DO NOT BE AFRAID
(Magbibigay ng Goodnews pero ang unang-unang babanggitin, wag kaung matakot)
Because they saw an angel of the Lord, and at that time encountering an angel of the
Lord means God’s judgment. Let give you an example verse:
Isaiah 37:36
That night the angel of the LORD went out to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000
Assyrian soldiers. When the surviving Assyrians [a] woke up the next morning, they found
corpses everywhere.

Acts 12:21-23

21 
and an appointment with Herod was granted. When the day arrived, Herod put on his
royal robes, sat on his throne, and made a speech to them. 22 The people gave him a
great ovation, shouting, “It’s the voice of a god, not of a man!”
23 
Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the
people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God. So, he was consumed with worms
and died.

And bakit sila takot? Because they are guilty, the same way with us we are guilty.
(Explain)
James 2:10

For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has
broken all of God’s laws.

But
John 3:17

God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through
him.

Christmas is the time to understand and remember the Goodness of God.

Jesus came here, to save us not judge or condemn us.

 GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY

Luke 2:10
but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news
that will bring great joy to all people.
But often times, napapaghiwalay po natin yan.
We accept the Goodnews, but we forget the Great Joy that comes with it.
Do you remember the time na 1 st time mo sinurender ung life mo kay Jesus? Naalala
mo ung na born-again ka? Because you heard the goodnews na God wants to save
you, kaya nag responds ka dun at innaccept mo si Jesus us Lord and Savior. You
accept Jesus, now you are saved and now you have great joy. Magkasama yan!
(Explain)
Here’s what happens pag tumatagal, all of a sudden parang nababawasan o nawawala
na ung joy. Example: Prayer, quiet time, ministry, descipleship. Parang nag aantay ka
nalang kunin ni Lord. (Explain Before and After)
What is happening now is, Salvation becomes a religion.
Nawala na ung Joy kasi nagiging religion nalang lahat e.
Example: Sino ba ang maliligtas? (debate ng mga iba’t ibang churches) Salvation is
more than that, salvation is something a relationship, something that we need to live in
it. (Explain)
“Do not reduce salvation into a religion”
Naging religious duty nalang lahat. (Ligtas ako kaya dapat kong gawing, dapat kong
sundin to, hindi ganun) (Explain)
Bakit nawawala ung great joy?
Because, we keep on looking back on our old life. (Sinners Life)
Kaya nga
2 Corinthians 5:17
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life
is gone; a new life has begun!
(Explain)
You are saved and you must enjoy it
Hindi yung ligtas ka nga, pero parang nag-aantay ka nalang kunin ni Lord. May verse ka
pa ang mananatili sa huli ay syang maliligtas, kaya titiisin ko to kahit di na ako masaya.
Remember Goodnews with Great Joy (Magkasama yan!)
Dapat hanggang ngayon nag eenjoy ka parin.
Hindi yan nakadepende kong ano ang noche Buena nyo o ano regalo ang
matatatnggap mong regalo
Pasko is bigger than the Noche Buena, bigger than the gifts you will receive, bigger
than the parties that you going to attend.
You have to look more redeemed. Yung mukha ka talagang niligtas.
Yung mukha ka talagang Kristyano.
Kaya ung iba tao di natin mahatak e, kasi pag tiningnan buhay natin mukha tayong
talunan, mukha tayong api.
It’s not about your situation.
Or anything na ihahanda mo, matatanggap mo this Christmas it’s not about that, it’s all
about Jesus, Its all about the presence of God in your life.
Yung goodnews may nagagawa sa buhay natin yan.
Naiiba buhay natin pag nakakatanggap tayo ng goodnews. Agree?
Example: Nagbalita ang mga oil Company na sa December 25, libre lahat ng gasoline.
Diba mababago buhay nyan ng marami? Yung mga taong gusting mag stay at home
lang, baka kung saan saan pumunta yan masulit lang yung libreng gasolina. Baka ung
mga walang sasakyan bumili ng sasakyan para sa libreng gasolina o kaya kahit walang
sasakyan nakapila na sa gasulinahan daladala timba. Baka magcamp ka na din ung iba
sa gasulinahan ng December 24 para lang mauna sa libre ng December 25, tatanungin
ka ng gasoline boy, papagasulina po? Hindi antayin ko mag December 25, saka mo ko
gasulihan, full tank para libre. O diba? Maraming nabago ang buhay? Naiba ang mga
plano dahil sa isang simpleng goodnews. Same way with the goodnews of Christmas.
Goodnews changes the way we live.
God has saved you; it should change you!
Salvation (Goodnews) change the way you lived.
It changes the way you lived pag naintidihan mo ung salvation, now you could truly
celebrate Christmas, because Christmas is not based on material things.
Jesus did not promise to take away our problems, He promise to take us through
them. Ang promise ni Lord sasamahan kitang harapin ang problema.
Ang importante, kasama natin si Lord.
And
It’s for all the people, walang exemption.
Luke 2:10
but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news
that will bring great joy to all people.
Luke 2:11
The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of
David!
Today, a savior has been born to you. (Yung nangyari noon, applicable parin ngayon
Today!)
Kong dati, hindi mo alam bakit sinicelebrate ang Christmas, basta ang alam mo lang,
masaya ang Christmas season, lalo na sa mga bata. Masaya ang Christmas season sa
mga working na may 13th month at Christmas Bonus. Masaya kasi magbibigayan ng
regalo, masaya kasi maraming handaan. It’s more than that!
The greatest gift that we could receive this Christmas is Jesus Christ.
Today, we have great joy with salvation
Goodnews of Great Joy!
Hindi po Goodnews tapos eendure mo ng lahat tapos ung Great Joy sa Heaven. Hindi
po ganun, hindi po disconnected un.
I hope that we live our Christian life na hindi disconnected and Goodnews and Great
Joy natin.
Kahit anong mangyari nakangiti ka parin. Kahit, na may omicron man, maubos man ang
alphabet sa kong ano-anong variant na lumabas, masaya parin tau, wala man
marecieve o maibigay na regalo ngayong pasko, masaya parin tayo, hindi man ganun
ka bonnga ang nuche Buena natin ngayong pasko, masaya parin tayo, Hindi man tayo
makabili ng mga bagong damit ngayong pasko, masaya parin tayo.
Masaya parin tayo, because Jesus is with us!
Luke 2:10-11

but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good
news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the
Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!
Jesus is Reason for this Season
