The True Christmas Story...

 


by Brielle Murray


Every year Christmas comes at the same time... December 25th.  However very few people know what the true meaning of Christmas is.  I'll give you a clue... It's when someone very special was born!  He was born in a stable, and his mother and father were named Mary and Joseph.  Well, if you haven't guessed by now, his name is JESUS.  We celebrate Christmas because it is Jesus' birthday.  You see, there is much more to Christmas than just getting gifts.  Do you ever wonder why we give gifts at Christmas in the first place?  Well, it's because when Jesus was born, three Wise Men came to see the baby Jesus.  They gave gifts to him... they gave him gold, frankincense and myrrh.  Back then, that kind of stuff was really expensive, and only very important and rich people had it.  Also, Jesus died on a cross to save us from all of our sins so we could go to heaven, and see him when we die, if we accept Him into our hearts.  So really, Jesus has given the best gift we could ever get... the gift of eternal life with Him.  So on Christmas morning when you are opening up all those wonderful gifts, remember God's gift is the best one of all.

Merry Christmas to you,

Love,
