A lot of stories are told concerning issues that shape human history. These stories seek to tell us where we’re coming from and sometimes give a clue as to where we are headed. These stories abound – some true, some too good to be true.
Christmas is one of such stories. To some it is a fable, to others it is apocryphal, again to some it is just one of those stories. What then does Christmas mean? At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ came into planet earth as a baby, born a virgin called Mary who conceived by the Holy Spirit.
One may ask what then makes Jesus’ birth special.
I. He was born by a virgin who conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35, Matthew 1:20,Isaiah 7:14)
II. He came to save the human race from sin and its consequences (Isaiah 9:6 &7, John 3:16-18)
III. He came to destroy the works of the Devil (I John 3:8b;Colossians 2:15)
These are just a few of the things that make Jesus and hence, His birth standout.
The Christmas story is not just one of those stories. It is the story that altered the fate of man positively and indelibly.
