First I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!
A lot will be said about the glorious day Jesus was born and about the current attack and attempted destruction of Christmas’s real meaning. As I reflect on all the commercialism and gift giving I try and find the real meaning in all the hustle and bustle surrounding this time. With exception of a minority of people trying to keep the real meaning of Christmas alive it’s difficult to find the real meaning of Christmas in most of our modern traditions. I personally have no real beef with the commercial and capitalist side of Christmas. With freedom we have choices and there are many ways to celebrate. However, the real meaning must be kept alive in our hearts and minds. Most importantly kept alive by passing them on to the next generation.
On Christmas Jesus was born. God had bestowed his son and love upon the world. From God came the ideas and principles we call Judeo Christian principles. This gift to mankind changed the world. It brought light to the darkness and light to the world. This is the Christmas Gift that matters, the gift we are all benefiting from to this day and should be celebrating. This is the gift we must pass on to the next generations. From Judeo Christian principles came such ideas as every human life being important. From their faith, our Founding Fathers believed God bestowed all people with individual liberty. From such ideas came this great Republic that changed the world forever. We have so much to celebrate and be grateful for.
Even though this is the source of our blessings Christianity and Freedom are under severe attack more than ever. Tyrants and evil doers have always despised Christianity. From Christianity and Judeo Christian values you get the very light that shines through the evil doers and tyrants darkness. This light shines through their evil ways and lies and usually has been their undoing. This is why they constantly attack Christianity. If they can finally kill Christianity and the Judeo Christian principles, they can finally kill Freedom and rule with their tyranny.
Christianity and Christmas are being attacked in our schools, public settings, and throughout this great land. Yet the source of everything we hold dear and important come from this light upon the world. The connection between the most dominant faith in the United States and our freedoms is a foreign concept to many. This is a symptom of the evil doers partial success in attacking Christianity. If in fact that seems to be a stretch to connect these two ideas I suggest two very enjoyable and easy to read books: The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen and 7 Tipping Points That Saved The World by Chris Stewart and Ted Stewart. These are an easy starting place to undo the misinformation that is part of the attack on these ideas.
Christmas is a time to reflect on the most important gift of all and make sure we pass this precious gift on to the next generations.
God Bless and Merry Christmas!
