The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid. I have some very good news for you—news that will make everyone happy. Today your Savior was born in David’s town. He is the Messiah, the Lord.”

There is much joy during the Christmas season—in children and also adults! People like to give each other gifts. Many people in the world celebrate Christmas; but unfortunately, they do not realize and know the real, spiritual meaning of it. Christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the whole year. Our Lord’s birth was unique on this earth.

By His birth, our Lord Jesus Christ gave Himself as the world’s greatest gift for us. By His birth, Jesus destroyed all the works of dark powers and authorities. By His birth, Jesus brought salvation! We can see in the Bible what we Christians have been given, what was brought by His birth.

God gave us eternal life through Jesus, and this means that His birth was a gift for us of salvation. Surely those who accept Him, they will have true life through Jesus Christ. By the birth and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, God provided us His peace.

It is a fact that the meaning of Christmas is very great. Jesus came to the world as a GIFT from God to humankind. So let us celebrate Christmas, realizing its true meaning. Let us thank God for Jesus’ birth, and let us value this unique gift found only in Jesus Christ!
