What Christmas Is & Is not
It Isn't about:
1) It is not about the Santa Claus that appears these days as a default logo during Christmas season
2) It is neither abt the Christmas tree nor the star that hangs in front of the house.
3) It is not about plum cakes & new clothes.
4) It is not about all-night parties.
The media and the society portray Christmas as yet another day to party & exchange gifts during the holiday season, in effect the real-meaning of Christmas is lost somewhere. It is analogous to a person arranging a huge banquet for a King and not inviting him. How good is that???
It Is about:
God’s love for mankind. A love so pure & lasting, that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for us and to save us from our sins [which would end in death otherwise]. And a time for us to realise, repent of our sins and accept Him so that we might live and walk with Him every day.
