Celebrate!

Revelation 19 tells of the wedding feast of the lamb. This chapter also tells of how Satan and his army will be defeated.
It's Christmas day and I was thinking what has this reading got to do with today? What does this reveal to me today? I believe that Satan's defeat began that first Christmas. Even though from the beginning of time, God had a plan to stop Satan in his tracks, it all came into being in that manger in Bethlehem. Jesus was the answer, Jesus still is the answer, and He came to this earth as a baby to stop Satan and to show us how God wants us to live.
Christmas is about celebrating the fact that God invaded earth and chose to help us out from the mess we'd made. The beginning of the New Testament is about the birth of Jesus, and the end of the New Testament is about Jesus conquering Satan and bringing all suffering to an end. We have something amazing to celebrate today. I've read the book! It's a great ending! Let's celebrate our Saviours birth and rejoice in the fact that He rules all! Death has been defeated! Satan you are next! 
Happy Christmas! Jesus is Lord!
