Christmas is the Good News that brings joy to the entire world. It is a testament to God’s immense love for humanity, so profound that He gave His only Son for its redemption. Christmas bestows peace and joy upon us, a reflection of God’s love. The Creator of the universe appointed humanity as the crown of creation. From Adam’s rib, God created Eve, blessing the first marriage on earth.
Humanity, as God’s representative on earth, is entrusted with the stewardship of His creation. However, sin entered the world when humanity failed to acknowledge God’s love. It was to redeem this broken relationship that God gave His only Son to the world.
Christmas heralds the message of peace, joy, and hope to all. It is a time when mutual understanding and cooperation shine brightly. Christmas is a season where the weak find support and the weary are uplifted.
Yet, in today’s society, many live in isolation—elderly parents abandoned by their children and children forsaken by their parents. It is here that the true essence of Christmas calls for reflection.
We can only experience the true joy and peace of Christmas when we make room for the marginalized in our lives. Christmas is born where generosity and sharing prevail. It conveys a message of selflessness and reconciliation, encouraging us to let go of conflicts with grace and goodwill. Christmas should be a celebration that unites everyone, extending a hand of friendship and embracing all, transforming the world into one family.
Wishing everyone the blessings of Christmas and the New Year!
