Christmas is not merely a date on the calendar—it is the moment when eternity touched time.

The world often treats Christmas as a season of nostalgia, gift-giving, and fleeting cheer. While these things are not wrong, they are incomplete. Christmas is holy because it marks the divine interruption of history. The eternal Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). God did not shout salvation from heaven—He entered our brokenness quietly, humbly, and personally.

The miracle of Christmas is not found in the decorations, the music, or even the traditions we cherish. It is found in a manger in Bethlehem where the Creator of the universe chose vulnerability over power, humility over glory, and presence over distance. The holy God stepped into human frailty so that sinners could be reconciled to Him.

Christmas reminds us that God is not distant from our pain. Jesus was born into a world of political oppression, economic struggle, and spiritual darkness—much like our own. Yet Isaiah foretold, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light” (Isaiah 9:2). Christmas declares that no darkness is too deep for the Light of Christ.

At Abiding Grace Church, we celebrate Christmas not as an event, but as a revelation of God’s heart. A Savior has been born—not to impress the world, but to redeem it. May this holy season draw us again to awe, worship, and grateful obedience.
