What is the meaning of Christmas? Linus shares
it with Charlie Brown in the special made for TV. And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by
night, and lo the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them, and they were sore afraid, and the angel said unto them,
"Fear not, for behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a savior, tis
Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger." And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts, praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward
men." That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
God is always working. Our job is to find what God is up to in the world that we might be a part of that plan and to use the gifts and talents that God has given us to imitate the perfect creation in Jesus to our world.

What is the meaning of Christmas III

What is the meaning of Christmas? John 3:16 tells us that God so loved the world that God gave us His Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. We come to this season to celebrate the birth of God’s love in the world. A time when we see that love lived out in the charity and compassion of people that we do not see any other time of year in such a way. That is the meaning of Christmas.

What is the true meaning of Christmas? Ask Ebenezer Scrooge or the Grinch. Both encountered that it is not the things we buy or own or strive to possess. It is an inner spirit of love and compassion that permeates our very natures especially at this time of year. It is a desire to see smiles on young and old alike. It is a time of music as the Hoo’s sing of Christmas and of dinners on the table as the family gathers round. It is a time of sharing what God has so bountifully given us. That is the meaning of Christmas.
