I have come to see Christmas in a different light unlike how I used to when I was younger. Christmas is no longer all about celebration and the merriment to me, but a season of thankfulness. Any time Christmas approaches, what comes to my mind is all about the significance of Christ's birth. It often made me to be filled with uncommon elation of reverencing my God for the favor He did for me, by sending Christ to the world during the period when it seemed doom and gloom for Christiandom.
This seriously got me wondered, what would have happened if God didn't send his only son Jesus Christ to the world to die for my sins, thereby reconciling me with my heavenly Father(God)? What would have happened to me as a condemned sinner? It would have been over for me.
Now you see the reason Christmas is no longer what it used to be to me, because I now understand better what the season is in its true essence of what it means.
Therefore, Christmas to me is a season of joy in knowing Christ was born to die for me, hence redeemed and saved me from the impending destruction of the great thing because of the love that he has for us which is to send his only son to come and die on earth for our sins. I believe that it is a time to celebrate his birth.Christian the Christmas period is the time where Christians all over the world celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.The same way we feel happy about getting to a new age and we celebrate for seeing our new age and feeling happy for coming into the world to contribute our own quota to humanity, it the same way we celebrate Jesus Christ for coming into the world to redeem us and reconcile us back to God.
Celebrating the birth of Jesus always remind of the reason for the season which is us reflecting on why he was born.it a period we show appreciation to God for sending his only begotten son in form of a man to come dwell with us and make us haveb better standing before him as our God it really a period to show love to one another just as God shown us love by giving us Jesus Christ.world.
