Celebrate Christmas

If you want to have a great life, celebrate the real meaning of Christmas. Gifts, egg nog, snow and gingerbread cookies are all fun at Christmas. Going to Grandma's, watching It's a Wonderful Life and enjoying the tradition of Santa are fun for all and build important and meaningful memories for a family. But the only way to have a great life is to know that life does not end when this physical life is over. Knowing that God became a man through the birth of a baby gives us hope and purpose. The miracle of Jesus being born of a virgin in Bethlehem as the prophets foretold (Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2) gives us a foundation from which to build the rest of our lives. Knowing life does not end with this sometimes dismal world should bring a smile to our faces. We truly have the victory through Jesus Christ.
Renew your relationship with Jesus this Christmas. Go to a Christmas Eve service. Before opening gifts, read Matthew 1:18 - 2:12. Give a prayer of thanks for your eternal relationship with God through the forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ. If we have trust Christ as our Savior, we can truly celebrate with joy and gladness this Christmas. Christ, our Savior, is born.
If you want to have a great life, celebrate the true meaning of Christmas this Christmas and every day of your life.
