Christmas is all about the LORD Jesus Christ, the Saviour of Sinners like you and I. He took upon human flesh 2000 years ago so that man who is lost in sin because he is a sinner, might have eternal life, that is salvation. How was this made possible?

Conversely, if you reject Him and His great salvation, you will experience an eternal separation from Him and be punished for all eternity in the "lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death." Rev. 21:8 KJV.
