Millions of people world wide honor Jesus birth because he is what makes Christmas special! Its message is electrifyiny, its supernatural dimension awesome and its dynamic affect upon society historic.
I thank God for Christmas and the impact of its message on our lives, spititually, morally, and socially.
Christmas will always be special and exciting. A time for family and friends. A time for loving, sharing, and relaxing, and a time for giving and receiving.
Every Christmas is basically the same. Scriptures outlining the Savior's birth are read in our churches, sermons are preached and carols are sung. Bible texts are featured in newspapers, sacred music played over the radios and Christmas card exchanged by the millions.
Highlighted through it all, are the hopeful words of the angels to the lowly shepherds, the first Christmas morning. " Fear not for behold I bring good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. Glory to God in the highest and peace, good will toward men." [Luke 2:10-12]
Christmas is a time to dispel fear, by sahring the Gospel in word and deed, helping to lift someone's heavy load, and pointing them to the Savior who will grant forgiveness, peace and joy!
The story of Christmas says," that some day there will be peace on earth and good will among men because of God's great gift and Christ's sacrifice for us. When he returns in power to rule and reign, Satan will be banished and peace will reign universally.
In the meantime, he reigns in the hearts and minds of those who trust in him as Lord and Savior.
