for years we celebrate Christmas, give gifts, sweets sing carols, etc, but somewhere the true essence of Christmas is forgotten.
It isnt about a little boy born in a manger, its about God taking form of a man liveing for 33yrs on the earth just like you and me and then dying on the cross to save us from our sins. yes sins, something which we many a times fail to recognise or ignore, but God couldnt ignore it because He is holy and our sins would seperate us from Him forever.
Therefore in its true essence, Christmas is a celebration of freedom, freedom from sins and all its consequences.
And that is why it was rightly sung,
joy to the world the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him a room!!
Christmas was the beginning of good news that the greatest of all battles of our life (i.e. victory over sin) would be won bu Jesus! by humbly dying on the cross.
And that is the true joy of Christmas that the Saviour was born and liberated you and me from the clutches of evil one!!
I invite you to join in this celebration beautiful with the family of Christ!!
