Season of Giving
What is the meaning of Christmas? Do we expect parties or presents or cards from friends or families on Christmas?
Christmas is a season of giving. God has given us the ultimate and perfect gift for us on this christmas day, and that is his son Jesus Christ.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." (I John 4:10)
And God also commands us to love one another, not only on Christmas, but in every day of our lives. "since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another." (1 John 4:11). Christmas is a reminder of God's love for his people to send his only Son to die on the cross. And it is only because of His love for us that he can offer such a perfect gift for His people.
This was in the sermon just now, and i find this message a good reminder of true meaning behind chrismas. Apart from that, we also had an exchange of present among my church haha... I got a diary (yay)
And yesterday I went for a christmas carol in one of my church member's house. Quite an impressive turn-up, about 20+ of us were there.
