Books, laughter, indulgence, spoiling, reading, escapism, giving, dreaming, relaxing. That’s what I read on a poster today.

What is your Christmas?

A number of years ago we stopped in Whangarei for lunch at Christmas time and I asked somebody sitting near us in the park, “What do you think what the meaning of Christmas is? The answer was, “Being together with family and friends.”

How interesting it is to ask people, “What is your Christmas?” I should ask some more people and write down the answers.

Do you want to know what Christmas is for me?

Please turn to the Bible and read with me from the Gospel of Luke chapter two the verse eleven. There it says, Today in the town of David a SAVIOUR has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11

It talks here about a Saviour. I always thought that there was something wrong and that I needed help badly. And there it was, “a Saviour has been born to you.” And that is the meaning of CHRISTMAS! A Saviour has been born and saved us from destruction.

Praise the LORD!
