Countries all around the world celebrate Christmas. In this country, it is a National holiday. Schools are out, and businesses close because of the holiday. Everybody is in a happy holiday mood.
The true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ. Most people believe Jesus lived. They know that He changed the world, and He affected many things in the history of the world.
But some people think of Jesus as a good man that taught some good things. They do not believe that Jesus was the Son of God.
Christians believe that God gave His Son Jesus, as the greatest gift of all time. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for the sins of the world.
He did that because He loves you. But you must ask Him to forgive your sin.
Christians believe that Jesus gives true peace and real joy. Being happy is nice, but joy is more than that. Joy is lasting. As you watch Christians, you can see peace in their lives even when circumstances are hard or difficult.
So enjoy the Christmas season, celebrate with your family, and remember Jesus on the day our country celebrates Jesus birthday. Then you too can have true peace, and real joy, when you know Jesus as your personal Savior.
