For most people Christmas is a wonderful time of the year.
For others Christmas is a time of loneliness and sorrow, as they deal with the heartbreak of missing those who are no longer here. Some are alone.
For many it’s a time of overindulgence in rich foods, overspending on gifts, and overcoming the problems associate with the season.
Christmas is a time of celebration for the church.
It doesn’t matter that Jesus was probably born some other time of the year or whether it was spring, summer, fall, or winter.
What matters is that God loved the world so much that He sent His precious Son that sinners might be saved from their sins, from the wrath of God, and from the fires of Hell.
That’s why the Bible says, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near,” Isa. 55:6.
If you know Jesus, thank Him for coming so that you can finally understand what Christmas is all about. Tell others about Him. .
“Go tell it on the mountain, — Over the hills and everywhere, — Go tell it on the mountain, — That Jesus Christ is born.
John W. Work
