Christmas should not be celebrated without understanding the reason behind its celebration, it is certainly not about getting drunk and unwrapping gifts-It has an interesting and significant meaning to us as Christians, a period of sober reflection on the birth, life and time of christ Jesus, our reconciliation and our justication are all tied to it. It is about the unspeakable love and gift of God to mankind. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. A time to offer more practical and reassuring support to those in need.

FREEDOMChrist purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified). He did it for us! Hence we celebrate his birth (CHRISTMAS)
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Christmas is a special and interesting time to thank him for this peace.
JESUS CAME that we might have peace with GOD.
