Christmas Is All About Christ - Restored August 17th, 2014

Christmas Is All About Christ

Miss Busy: Kacee, Kacee, Kacee, I have another question. Can you help me?

Kacee: Sure, Miss Busy. What is it? I am always happy to answer your questions and help.

Miss Busy: Well I’m confused, what is Christmas really all about? All my friends talk about shopping and giving presents. They tell me it is ALLLLL about the presents. Whoever gets the biggest, bestest, most expensive gift has the best Christmas ever! They tell me that if their parents don’t get what they want for Christmas they would be so unhappy. I mean is it all about presents, dazzling lights, Christmas trees, snow, and delicious food? I mean I LOVE…just ABSOLUTELY LOVE Christmas cookies and ham and ooooo everything about Christmas! But there has to be more to Christmas than that!

Kacee: You’re right Miss Busy. Christmas is more than that. Christmas is the birthday of a King. Yes, giving presents is nice, so is pretty lights, Christmas trees, snow and yummy Christmas cookies. But….Christmas is all about Christ. Look at the first 6 letters of Christmas and what do you find?

Miss Busy: Hmmmmm C-H-R-I-S-T Ohhhhhh Christ! It spells Christ.

Kacee: That’s right Miss Busy. Jesus was sent to this world in a form of a Baby. He was born in a manger in a stable many years ago.

Miss Busy: Yeah, just like the manger scene display they have at church.

Kacee: Do you know why Jesus came to earth Miss Busy?

Miss Busy: Well, I know Jesus came to earth to die on the cross for our sins so we could go to heaven one day.

Kacee: That’s exactly right. Now Christmas is when we celebrate the birthday of Jesus. It really isn’t about all those presents. It is only about one gift…that is the gift of salvation. Jesus has a special gift for anyone who will receive it. He came to this world to die on the cross to pay a price we could not pay for our sins. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Do you know what ALL means Miss Busy?

Miss Busy: Well, EVERYTHING….EVERYONE.

Kacee: That’s right, All…everyone has sinned according to the Word of God. Our sin separates us from God. The Bible says in Romans 6:23 “The wages of sin is death...” Wages is something we earn, so it is saying that because of our sin we deserve death, that is a spiritual death in hell.

Miss Busy: That’s not the end of the verse…I’ve heard this one at church. …”The wages of sin is death BUT the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Kacee: Very good Miss Busy. Yes, this Christmas God has a gift for you. That is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. This is talking about heaven. The only way to receive this gift is through Jesus Christ. We must know we have sinned, ask the Lord to forgive us our sins, and believe that He died on the cross and rose again.

Miss Busy: Oh yes, the Bible says in Romans 10:9-10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Kacee: You probably know this verse too Miss Busy. John 3:16. Will you say it with me?

Miss Busy: Sure thing.

Miss Busy and Kacee: “For God so love the world that He gave His only Begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Kacee: See Miss Busy, Christmas is all about Christ and His gift of salvation.

Miss Busy: Thank-you Kacee. It is so easy to forget the real meaning of Christmas. I am going to tell all my friends about the true meaning of Christmas and Jesus’s special gift He has for them this Christmas. I might make Em’ some Christmas cookies too because I LOOOOVE Christmas cookies. Yummmm! Bye.

Kacee: Have you accepted this gift of salvation? If not, just pray to the Lord and mean it with your heart, ask him to forgive you of your sins, tell Him you believe He died on that cross just for you and rose again. Ask Him to be the savior of your life this Christmas. He will save you. Don’t delay accept this gift today.
