Christmas

This thing called Christmas is not just for Christians.

You may be a Jew or a Muslim or a Hindu or a Buddhist or an atheist.

Good News!! 

Christmas is for you too!

You see, God loves you so much and wants to have a relationship with you. But there's a barrier between us and God, called sin. All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Sin prevents us from being in God's presence, and ultimately there must be punishment for our sin.

The Bible says that the wages of sin is death.

Jesus came here to destroy that barrier by dying on the cross and paying the price of our sin for us. You see, whether you believe that Jesus is the Christ or not, He loves you anyway and wants to know you.

 Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ.

Without the birth, there would be no cross, and if there was no cross, there would be no forgiveness and we would all be doomed to hell.

It is for that reason that I refuse to say Happy Holidays or Season's greetings.

It is for that reason that, to all the Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, Christians and everyone else out there, I say 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
