The Meaning of Wishing: “Merry Christmas”

The Meaning of Wishing: “Merry Christmas”

My friend’s Christmas card contained this handwritten message:

Christmas is the Echo of Eternity Touching Time.
The Incarnation of the Son of God into the baby Jesus is the Priceless Gift of Christmas.
The Divine became human, so that humanity could share in the Divine – the Peace & Joy of the companionship of God.

God so loved the world (especially the men & women, whom He created in His Image and Likeness)
that He sent His only Son
(The Personification of Divine Love)
to become man,
(to suffer & die on the Cross to absolve all men & women, from all sin)
so that all who believe in Him, shall not perish, but have life everlasting – John 3:16.

The Above YouTube Music Video Captures the Essence of “Merry Christmas”

God’s unilateral, unconditional New Testament Covenant of Love restored
the broken relationship between God and men & women.
The first Christmas is the beginning of that wonderful restoration,

It’s the beginning of re-grafting broken branches into the life-giving vine.
It’s the beginning of experiencing the presence of God within us.
It’s the beginning of the gift of Grace, flowing through one broken vessel into another.

All of that Began on One Holy Night in a stable in Bethlehem.

All of that serves as the gyroscope for our souls to love God and each other as Christ loves us.

          All of that is said & shared, when we wish someone: “Merry Christmas”

         All of that Happened because a faithful, young, Jewish Girl believed & obeyed God’s messenger.

That’s why we sing:
