On December 25th we celebrate Christmas, but... What’s “Christmas”?
-Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated generally on December 25th as a religious and cultural holiday by billions of people around the world. (Wikipedia)
You might say "everybody knows that!", but it's so easy to get involved in the way the world celebrates it. We tend to do what everybody else does...
However, we can't forget the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas has nothing to do with "santa claus"... or just good food, gifts...
We are supposed to celebrate that wonderful day (it doesn't matter the exact day), when the son of God left His glory and became human being... He divided history. He came to suffer and die on the cross, to provide us salvation. This is the real meaning of Christmas.
•Isaiah 9:6 says:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Matthew 1:18-24 and Luke 1.26-38; 2.1-20 tell us the beautiful story of the birth of Jesus.
Take the opportunity to give thanks to God for JESUS... To Him, and to Him alone, be all the glory and honor, now and forever more....
Have a very merry Christmas!!!
A big hug!
