Bible Scripture: John 3:16

Christmas is a time of great joy, love, and celebration. It’s a reminder of God’s incredible gift to humanity – His only Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

The birth of Jesus is a fulfillment of prophecy, as foretold by Isaiah, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14), meaning “God with us” – a reminder that God has come to dwell among His people.

As we celebrate Christmas, let’s reflect on the true meaning of this holiday. Jesus’ birth represents hope, love, and redemption. He came to bring light to a dark world, to offer us salvation, and to reconcile us with God. “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned” (Isaiah 9:2).

Let’s meditate on the humility and obedience of Mary, who said, “I am the Lord’s servant… May your word to me be fulfilled” (Luke 1:38). Let’s also remember the faith and trust of Joseph, who obeyed God’s instructions and cared for Mary and Jesus.

As we exchange gifts and spend time with loved ones, let’s not forget the greatest gift of all – Jesus Christ. He is the reason for the season. Let’s celebrate His birth, His life, and His sacrifice. Let’s share the message of hope and salvation with others, so they too can experience the joy and love of Christmas.
