Christians the world over celebrate on this day the birth of the Saviour of all mankind (John 3:16). He came not just to save a select few but everyone who would call on him (Romans 10:13). Let us who are Christians, remember that this day is not about giving gifts, decorating our homes, eating lots of food, or even being with family. All of these things are wonderful and part of our cherished traditions but they are not the reasons for the season. Jesus is the reason will gather together on this day. It is Jesus’ birthday!! He is that one that gives us eternal life (John 3:16) and blesses us with things (Matthew 7:11) like our homes, our decorations, our food, and our families. Without Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5) and we have nothing. Christians do not cherish the baby in the manger but the God/man who hung on a cross for our sins and then rose again on the third day to win victory over death!! So, on this day thank Him for coming into this world with that singular goal of dying for us, so that we could one day go be with him in heaven. Then, celebrate that fact with our family and friends, and share that good news with those who don’t know Him. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
