A Time for Celebration

The birth of Jesus is the most significant event in the history of mankind. It divided the timeline of history in to BC and AD. Every time you write a check, celebrate a birthday or any time that you are using a date, you are using the birth of Christ as your standard. Christmas was God’s idea. He planned when it would happen and why it would happen. And since it was His idea, we will look this Christmas at what He had in mind. Today we will discover that Christmas is a time for celebration. At Christmas, we celebrate that God loves you, that God is with you and that God is for you.
