”And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Luke 2:8-13 KJV
Christmas is a very special event on our calendar that we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke Chapter 2 gives an interesting account of Jesus’ birth. The latter part of verse 10 says “… for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Have you noticed that it’s saying “…to ALL PEOPLE”?

Aren’t you surprised that Christmas is the most celebrated event in the whole world? It doesn’t matter who you are— whether you believe in God or not. When it’s Christmas, everyone gets into the ‘Christmas mood’ because that’s what the Scripture says. It’s a moment of joy to everyone.

Apostle Joseph Ziba, Christmas

Can you imagine this day (Christmas) was also greatly celebrated in Heaven as well? Isn’t that wonderful? That’s why this day is so peculiar to us. That’s why you must celebrate on Christmas Day!
PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us eternal joy by giving us Your Son Jesus Christ. We will enjoy and celebrate with knowledge and understanding on the Christmas Day. In Jesus name, Amen!
