The true meaning of
Christmas
In our times Christmas has become very commercialised and very pagan. Many people are lured into over-spending as well as excessive eating and drinking.
However, these abuses should not blind us to the true meaning of Christmas. When thick smoke rises up and catches in your throat, and brings tears to your eyes, it is because a fire has been lit.
Since the coming of Jesus a bright fire has been burning on our earth, a fire that will never die. At this fire we experience the warmth of God’s love, as well as the glow of human fellowship.
Let us not be afraid to come in out of the cold and warm ourselves at this fire.
So Happy Christmas, everyone!
