Jaq: I can't wait to open presents! Is it time?
Gus: Guys, guys! Christmas isn't about Santa Claws and presents. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus. God loved us so much that he sent his only son here to earth. If that wasn't special enough, God made sure he was born in a manger so animals like us could be there too. Listen, THIS is what Christmas is about:
Now there were in the same country shepherds
living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and
the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to
them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy
which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign
to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God and saying:
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!
- Luke 2:8 - 14 (New King James Version)
Merry Christmas to all and may there be peace on earth.
