Christmas does not begin with angels; it begins with inspection. Not of colours, not of coordination, but of character. Before heaven notices who matched pyjamas, it checks who matched nature. Pictures may convince people, but only DNA convinces God. As pyjamas dey match, make DNA too match.
Christmas morning is simple. Outfits align, smiles are arranged, homes look peaceful. Everything appears unified. Yet Christmas is not impressed by what matches outwardly. The disturbing question remains, does what you wear agree with who you are becoming?
John 1:12–13 declares, “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God… which were born… of God.”
That is not metaphor; that is identity. Sons share nature with their father. Christianity is not celebration by association, it is transformation by birth. You cannot claim God as Father and live with a different spiritual DNA.
We announce Jesus loudly, but do we resemble Him quietly? It is possible to coordinate clothes and still contradict Christ. Christmas exposes this contradiction mercilessly. We sing of love while nursing bitterness. We proclaim peace while practicing jealousy. We shout Emmanuel, God with us, yet live as if God has no voice in our choices.
Jesus did not come to decorate human behaviour; He came to regenerate human nature. Those who receive Him are not patched up; they are reborn. If Christ truly lives in us, His DNA must manifest. His compassion should govern our responses. His humility should regulate our authority. His holiness should confront what we excuse in secret.
Matching pyjamas without matching DNA is Christianity reduced to performance. It looks attractive but carries no life. Herod celebrated Christ’s birth publicly but resisted His rule privately. The Pharisees mastered Scripture yet rejected the Son it revealed. Heaven has never been moved by celebration without conversion.
Soon the pyjamas will be packed away, the photos stored, the songs silenced. But the DNA remains. Eternity will not ask how well you dressed for Christmas; it will ask whose life was expressed through you. When the lights go off and the season passes, only one question will matter, did your DNA match the Christ you celebrated?
As pyjamas dey match, make DNA too match. That is the Christmas heaven recognizes.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
