What Christmas Is Not

Verse of the Month

“For unto us a child is born,

and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor.

The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

What Christmas Is Not

Christmas is not about the gifts that are given or received; it is about the GIFT of a Christ Child that was given.

Christmas is not about the sleigh or the snow, but about the manger and the Cross.

Christmas is not about lights, but about the Light.

Christmas is not about the words, “Merry Christmas”, but about the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us.

Christmas is ultimately about God's family, and that is what Christmas means to God - Family.  

This Christmas celebrate the true GIFT – Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.  That’s what Christmas really is! (jw/cw)

May the love of God shine through you,

In all you say and in all you do.

May His strength and mercy richly abound,

And His peace from Heaven be all around. (cw)

“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)
