Second coming of Christ(mas)

Christmas is about realizing that we could be the second coming of Christ. It's not merely worshipping and praying to an idol of baby Jesus, rather it’s about doing what Christ did, and wants to do through us.

Realization that you can give sight to the blind. However, we are so selfish even after death, that we don't want to donate our eyes.

Realization that our blood can save lives, but we will not donate blood. If Christ could give his blood to save, why are we not doing it?

Realization that we may not be able to make wine out of water like Christ did. But saving water can quench the thirst of many.

Realization that we may not be able to multiply 2 loaves and 5 fish like Christ, but we can avoid wasting food, that could have fed the hungry.

Realization that we may not be able to walk over water like Jesus, but we could walk across to our neighbors, many who we don't even know.

Realization that we may not be able raise the dead to life. But realizing that we can avoid killing many with our selfish use of resources leading to climate change. It’s time we change, so many can live

Realization that we may not rise from the dead like Christ but living how Christ lived.

Realization that it is not about evangelizing and preaching Christ, but allowing Christ to reach the broken world through us

Realization that it is not about putting up an artificial Christmas tree but planting more trees.

Realization that it is not about making a crib and having crib competitions but making a poor man's home happy whose house could be worse than a stable in which Christ was born.

Realization that for many a Christmas supper could be the last supper with their families. So, cherish and live with your family in love

Realization that it is not about celebrating the wise men who visited baby Jesus and saw the baby surrounded by animals. It is about contemplating if we are living our lives with wisdom or are we living like animals?

Let's wish we be blessed with wisdom and the realization that we can be a source of happiness to mankind this Christmas.
