FRIEND:

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?

Luke 1:46-47

King James Version (KJV)

⁴⁶And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
⁴⁷And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Mary's Awareness

"My Saviour" is a very remarkable way for a mother to refer to her son. Because Mary was born in sin and shared the sin of the human race, she too needed a Saviour. When she heard that she was to be the mother of the Son of God, she rejoiced and she sang this beautiful song of wonder and praise called "The Magnificat," from the word "magnify" used in the opening line of this hymn of praise.

Our Response  Acts 20:21

King James Version (KJV)

²¹Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Every person therefore must have the same awareness of one's sinfulness (Romans 3:9-10, 23) as Mary, the human instrument used of God Almighty to bring the Saviour the LORD Jesus Christ in human flesh. She not only recognized but acknowledged that she too was a sinner, therefore in need of a Saviour. But the realization in her heart and mind that the One who was in her womb was the promised Saviour brought rejoicing in her heart. This too must be our response of gratitude and praise to Him who is Emmanuel, "God with us."

And so Christmas is about Jesus, meaning Jehovah (God) the Saviour. Let our hearts be filled with gratitude for all eternity to Him who saved His people from their sins. Amen!

The question though reader is: Who is Jesus Christ to you? Is He your Saviour and LORD of your life? Surrender and Yield to Him now in this lifetime which will last for eternity in His Heavenly Kingdom. 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.
