Why Christmas?

Christmas is, at its heart, the celebration of God coming to earth in the person of Jesus Christ.

Christians believe that in Jesus, God entered humanity in a humble and vulnerable way — born in a stable, laid in a manger — to show His immense love for us. Through his birth, Jesus took on our human nature, so that he might live among us, share in our joys and sufferings, and ultimately bring reconciliation between God and people. 

More than just a historical event, Christmas points Christians to the hope and forgiveness offered through Jesus. Because of his life, death, and resurrection, believers are offered grace and the possibility of new life; Christmas reminds us that this gift began in that Bethlehem stable. 

 In short, Christmas is the joyful celebration of “Emmanuel – God with us,” bringing light into our world and renewing hope in dark times.
