This is the Christmas season! No doubt about that!
Do you know what Christmas is about? Do you know the story of the little baby in the manger scene? It’s a true story. And it’s the reason that Christmas is a season of love and joy and giving. This season, make sure that you share the true story of Christmas to your children! Make sure that they know why we are celebrating Christmas!
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of a baby. Not just any baby, but a promised baby! This baby was God’s Son, come down from heaven to live a life without sin, without doing anything wrong, so that when the time was right, He could pay the awful penalty of sin that human beings have accrued.
If you want to read the traditional account of the Christmas story in the Bible, it is found in Luke 2: 1-18
Or you can follow this link to the story and a printable version.
Jesus Christ was born. He lived a perfect (sinless) life. He offered himself freely to be the payment for our sin debt. He shed his blood on the cross of Calvary to pay for our sins. And his payment was accepted by God in heaven!
He gave his life, and rose again to secure for you an eternal home in heaven. What a gift!
To receive God’s free gift of Salvation, and to be able to personally experience the joy of Christmas and to understand the original gift of Christmas, all you have to do is accept His gift!
Tell God that you believe in Him and in His Son, Jesus Christ. Tell God that you want to accept his free gift of salvation! Sure, it’s simple! God made it simple – so that even a child would easily understand how to accept this precious gift!
