About celebration at Christmas…

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (NIV)

We celebrate Christmas as the day Christ was born. We celebrate Christmas because Christ came to save our life. Without Christ we are not only dead, we are dead in eternal torment. We celebrate Christmas because we have been saved from certain death by the man who grew from the baby Jesus into a man of wisdom and stature. Christ brought to us the infinite love of Himself. In Christ we have absolute and certain hope for never-ending tomorrows. With our repentance, in Christ, all our sin and mistakes will be totally and completely erased. We celebrate because we have freedom forever. We will be free of pain, suffering, and sorrow. We will be free of the threats put upon us by the darkness. We will be free of every worry or pain. This Christmas, Christ wants your heart to be made new as you accept Him as Savior and Lord.
