Unfortunately,
the current trend across America is
that if Christmas falls on a Sunday,
it’s not only the least attended
service, but some Churches will
actually cancel services. And
believe it or not, I think I know
why. People, even in the Church,
have forgotten The True Meaning of
Christmas. You see, Christmas is not
merely about gathering around with
family and eating copious amounts of
food and opening gifts, and it’s
certainly not about a bloated guy
flying around in a sleigh named
Santa Claus. It’s about
celebrating the birth of Jesus
Christ into this world so that you
and I could have a beautiful loving
intimate personal relationship with
the Creator of the Universe. In
fact, this study, The True Meaning
of Christmas reveals how Jesus went
to great lengths to make sure we
didn’t miss this point, and
that’s seen when we compare our
relationship with Him in the Bible
as the Bride of Christ, to the Seven
Phases of a Jewish Marriage
Ceremony. The True Meaning of
Christmas not only unveils this
amazing parallel, but it opens our
eyes to a two-fold message from
Jesus that’s been tucked away all
along in the Bible. One, He loves
His bride an awful lot, even to the
point where He would give His life
for her. And two, we all need to
make sure we really belong to Him as
His Bride, otherwise one day, we
will find ourselves shut out from
the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!
Don’t miss out on The True Meaning
of Christmas!
