So What Is Christmas All About?

For Christians the true meaning of Christmas is that Jesus stepped down from the glory of heaven to become a man, endure all that living in the ‘mud and trenches’ of a broken world could throw at Him and then pay the price for all the things that the human race—individually and corporately—has ever done that has made the world the imperfect place it is. The difference between His decision and that of the man in the trenches is that Jesus’ solution can last forever, not merely for a single day. The true message of Christmas then is that, because Jesus came to save people from their sins, all those who put their trust in Him can be once more put right with God and enjoy a living, meaningful and vibrant friendship with Him, eventually culminating in everlasting life with Him in heaven. Now that’s a gift to be celebrated!
