"The Essence of Christmas"

The True Essence of Christmas

        Chapter 1, Verse 14, of The New Testament’s Book, “THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN”, proclaims: "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and (we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten son of the Father) full of grace and truth.

        The “flesh” and “son of the father” alluded to in the aforementioned Scriptural verse is no other than Jesus of Nazareth who was born. “Not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor the will of men, but of GOD”. Not being the being offspring of Joseph, Jesus is referred to the “Son of God”. The sobriquet underscores that Jesus’ mundane existence was made possible through the Heavenly Patriarch’s intervention.

        On account of Jesus Christ’s, primary task of redeeming humankind from sin, He is also described in the Bible as the “Lamb of God which taken away the sins of the world” or “Mesias” or Christ.

        The essence of Christmas is the Celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth and the turning into readily the promise of the Father to send his Son to the World to redeem Adam’s and Eve’s family members from the curse of sin. Critics observe that December 25 is not the true birthday of Jesus Christ but were purposely selected by the Roman Catholic Church to compete with and to discredit the pagan festival of the winter solstice. True or untrue, the fact remains that the messiah existed and performed his redemptive task and commemorate his birth during the Christmas season.
