Bible Reflection: Significance of Christmas




Christmas Bible Verses




 
  I know each one of us is excited this Christmas season, we are excited to celebrate it with our family, and friends, we look forward for gifts and delicious food for the feast. But what really Christmas is? is it about presents and food? For children Christmas is something that they have on their wishlist that Santa will give, for Adults sad to say Christmas is just a simple celebration, But for Christians, Christmas is for Christ the son of God who was bought to the Earth to save our sins.
   
 
 Yes indeed, that is the reason why we have what we call Christmas, It's the birth of our Saviour. It's not just a  holiday to gather all our families and friends, it's not that we made delicious food for our table, and not that we gave presents to our loved ones and share our blessings to the less fortunate. We must know what really Christmas is all about, Matt 1:21, She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him name JESUS for he will save his people from their sins, that's what the Angel said to Joseph. And when JESUS was born the Angel spread the news to people ( Luke 2:11) , they came to worship HIM and bought HIM gifts (Luke 2:12).

  As Christians we must know the essence of Christmas and why we celebrate it every year. Those gifts which the Wise men gave to JESUS the star that the shepherds followed to find the baby who was born in a manger wrapped by cloth,  but do you know what is the most important gift that was given to us?  JESUS, He is the most precious gift that God had given us, and not the material gift that we received every year. Every Christmas season before we eat the food on the table and open the presents that we received, thank HIM first for the blessings and always tell HIM that he is the reason why this celebration is so important, and we must thank HIM because he had given us the greatest gift of our lives.



" For unto us the child is born, Unto us the son is given and the government will be on HIS  shoulders. And HE will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, The Everlasting Father The Prince of Peace"
