Blessed Christmas!

To children, Christmas is about receiving presents,
To parents, Christmas is about buying presents,
To the world, Christmas is all about the presents,
To Christians,Christmas is not all about presents,
I say, Christmas is all about THE PRESENT.

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:10-11)

If the gift of Christ was not given, there would not be a point in Christmas.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

This statement would not be true.

…you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)

This event would never have happened.

All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else. (Ephesians 2:3)

This would remain a fact.

Thus I will rejoice, knowing that I had already been given the perfect gift that has been planned for me since 2000 years ago on the day of Christmas!
