“Christ Centered Christmas”
Christmas is a happy time for many people around the world. It’s a time to give, to receive, to celebrate, and enjoy the fellowship of friends and family. But above all, it is a time to reflect and rejoice about the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I grew up in a Christian home, so I knew the true meaning of Christmas as a young child, but what about you? When did you first hear and understand the real Christmas story, and how does it continue to impact your life today? What is it about the story of Jesus’ birth leaves you most in awe of God?

We hardly ever have known the accurate date on which Jesus was born on earth. But I do know the true meaning why he descended and was born of woman. When I was little, I was told X’mas is a time to shop,to get home what sellers want you to buy. By the time I was baptized, pastor told me that everyday for me is a Christmas(instead of X’mas) because of a new creature I am. Grown up in a Presbyterian Church, I was so influenced by John Calvin on his words “without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God;without knowledge of God there is no knowledge of self. Yes, the world intends to lead people astray, particularly proactive through business and commercials. So far I keep seeking God and that’s why I went to seminary last year to get myself well equipped. Everyday we need to put on the armour of God in order that we may defend ourselves from the fire of demons. I suppose I even need not talk about Christianity more because of you a Chriatian. While I just want to talk about the true meaning I know about Chritmas. Thanks for your listening. God bless you all.
