Nehemiah 13:1-31; Zechariah 9:1-10:12; Revelation 17:1-18
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11 NKJV
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find the word “Christmas” in shops and cards. Christians are told to be more inclusive and to respect the beliefs of non-Christians. What most do not realize is that Christmas is not exclusively for Christians. The incarnation of Jesus Christ, “the Saviour of the world” (John 4:42), was for all humanity. When we celebrate the Lord’s birth or wish someone “Merry Christmas” we are, in fact, preaching the Gospel. The angels’ glad announcement echoes down through history in the happy proclamation that, “Christ is born! Merry Christmas!”. —Jared D. Fraser
Hail the heaven born Prince of peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings, risen with healing in His wings. —C. Wesley
