The Saviour Jesus Christ Is the Centre of
Christmas
What do you
think about Christmas? Many regard Christmas as an opportunity for
holidays, family reunions and friend gatherings, or entertainments with
Christmas trees, Christmas lights, Christmas carols, Christmas cards,
Christmas parties…, but ignoring the meaning of Christmas or failing to
worship the Saviour Jesus Christ, the Centre of Christmas.
Although the
25th of December is not the exact Birthday of the Lord Jesus,
His Birth is a real event recorded in the Holy Scripture and in human
history, dividing the world timeline: BC - Before Christ, and AD – Anno
Domini (in the year of the Lord). Therefore, this is a good opportunity
to remind all mankind including you and me to celebrate, worship and
preach the good news of God’s loving salvation to many others.
Why did the
Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, come into the world? That is “For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”
(John 3:16), and “In this was manifested the love of God toward
us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we
might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that
he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins”
(1 John 4 :9-10). These Scriptural verses tell us that God so
loved mankind including you and me, that Jesus Christ died for
our sins, “to be the propitiation for our sins,” and that
He rose again so that “we might live through him.” If we
believe and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and King, we
shall “not perish, but have everlasting life.” How about
your attitude toward God’s love at this Christmas?
