Awaken your soul in this 4-day reading plan from Thomas Nelson's Abide Bible Journals.

Krismasi hii, rejelea hadithi ya kuzaliwa kwa Yesu katika Injili Takatifu ya Mathayo na Luka. Unaposoma, video fupi yaeleza kila upande wa hadithi kwa kila siku ya mpango huu.

Tunapoingia Ujio, tukisubiri na kujiandaa kusherehekea kuzaliwa kwa Yesu, tukiiandaa mioyo yetu kwa ajili ya Krismasi, maneno ya Mtakatifu Yohana yanatutangazia hali ya uungu na uwepo wa milele wa Yesu, aliyekuja ‘kusimamisha hema lake’ kati yetu.

Majira ya Maajilio yanatualika kuandaa mioyo yetu kwa ajili ya kuja kwa Yesu, si kwa sherehe tu bali pia kwa tafakari. Katika simulizi ya Krismasi, hofu ni dhima inayojirudia: hekaluni, kwenye ndoto, milimani na hata kwenye nyumba za utulivu. Lakini kila mara, Mungu hatoi hukumu bali anatupa hakikisho: 'Usiogope.' Katika tafakari fupi fupi za mfululizo huu, tunachunguza jinsi kuchagua imani badala ya hofu kunavyotusaidia kumkaribisha Yesu kwa kina zaidi katika maisha yetu.
