A GIFT OF CHRIST’S MASS
Why do we use the term CHRIST’S MASS?
Understanding the significance and history of the term.
Christmas |ˈkrisməs| – noun (plural Christmases)
the annual Christian festival celebrating Christ’s birth, held on December 25 in the Western Church.
DERIVATIVES
Christmassy |ˈkrisməsē| adjective
ORIGIN
Old English Crīstes mæsse (see Christ, Mass).
Mass |mas| – noun
the Christian Eucharist or Holy Communion, especially in the Roman Catholic Church: we went to Mass | the Latin Mass.
a celebration of the Eucharist Mass.
ORIGIN
Old English mæsse, from ecclesiastical Latin missa ‘dismissal, prayer at the conclusion of a liturgy, liturgy, mass,’ from Latin miss- ‘dismissed,’ from mittere ‘send, dismiss.’
Eucharist |ˈyo͞ok(ə)rəst| – noun
the Christian ceremony commemorating the Last Supper, in which bread and wine are consecrated and consumed.
The consecrated elements, especially the bread.
The bread and wine are referred to as the body and blood of Christ, though much theological controversy has focused on how substantially or symbolically this is to be interpreted. The service of worship is also called Holy Communion or (chiefly in the Protestant tradition) the Lord’s Supper or (chiefly in the Catholic tradition) the Mass or (chiefly in the Eastern Orthodox tradition) the Divine Liturgy. See also consubstantiation, and transubstantiation.
DERIVATIVES
Eucharistic |ˌyo͞okəˈristik| adjective.
Eucharistical |ˌyo͞okəˈristək(ə)l| adjective
ORIGIN
late Middle English: from Old French eucariste, based on ecclesiastical Greek eukharistia ‘thanksgiving,’ from Greek eukharistos ‘grateful,’ from eu ‘well’ + kharizesthai ‘offer graciously’ (from kharis ‘grace’).
CHRIST’S MASS is a time of HONOR, THANKSGIVING, GRATEFULNESS, and HOLINESS as we celebrate the BIRTH, LIFE, DEATH, RESURRECTION, and ASCENSION of the Sacrificial Lamb CHRIST JESUS. Who left His Heavenly position, was born of a virgin, lived a spotless sinless life, offered himself willingly, submitted himself to death on a cross, died, and was resurrected on the third day, ascended into glory, offered the BLOOD of his spotless sacrifice on the Heavenly Altar, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of the FATHER in Heaven forever making intercession for the saints. This is the CHRISTMAS GIFT that the LIGHT OF THE WORLD might come forth for the redemption and restoration of all earthly creation and beyond throughout eternity.
It is in the revelation of the FULNESS of everything HE WAS AND DID that we can LIVE IN THE LIGHT.
Let us pray this day that the Nations will come to know and discern that the baby lying in a manger is no longer a babe, nor is He hanging on a cross, nor died in the grave, but HE IS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS riding upon a white horse preparing for battle and the VICTORY IS ALREADY HIS! Always thanking the FATHER for His eternal grace and mercy.
As the nation is shifting into place, let us search the scriptures to know what God
has promised us, LOOK TO THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD as the only true solution to all of mankind problems. Confidently knowing Almighty God will accomplish all He purposes to do.
Here are today’s scriptures:
Matthew 1:18-25 Luke 1:26-38 Luke 2:1-40
Luke 3:21-22; Luke 4:14-22; Luke 22:39-46; Luke 23:33-56; Luke 24:1-12; 50-53
Acts 1:9-11; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34; Hebrews 9:11-16
Revelation 1:4-7; Revelation 5:6-14; Revelation 11:15-19; Revelation 15:3-4
Revelation 17: 14; Revelation 19: 11-19; Revelation 21:1-7
Basic instructions: Please read each scripture one at a time, expounding on it, drawing on the revelation being made! After praying over it, as the Holy Spirit leads, move on to the next scripture doing the same
Please do this each hour as the Holy Spirit will release deeper revelations and a greater understanding of our part in God’s overall purposes of restoration of the Church, the United States of America, and the nations of the earth.
Please use the console when able and ask individuals to identify themselves when they pray. Please do not ask for a roll call at the beginning of your session as it uses time we could spend on praying.
~~~
Let God’s LIGHT penetrate the darkness and do not focus on the darkness,
but rather on how all is being brought out into the LIGHT.
While WALKING IN HIS GLORIOUS LIGHT, our beings are flooded by that LIGHT
and we rejoice as all is being renewed in the LIGHT!
