Why Is Christmas Important?
A question by my tireless writer of a nephew
Dear David,
Thank you for your letter about the birth of Jesus. I have been learning about this story in Sunday school, and it is very interesting to me.
I have a question for you: Why is it important to remember this story of Christmas?
I am curious because it happened a long time ago, and I want to know why it is still important to us today.
Thank you for explaining this to me.
Sincerely,
Nephew.
Dear Nephew,
Thank you for your question about the importance of remembering the story of Christmas. This is a deep and profound question, and I am happy to offer my thoughts on the matter.
Firstly, the story of Christmas is important because it reminds us of the love that God has for us. It tells us that God sent His son, Jesus, to Earth to save us from our sins and to offer us the gift of eternal life. This is a powerful reminder of the depth of God’s love for each and every one of us, and it can give us hope and strength in times of difficulty.
Secondly, the story of Christmas is important because it reminds us of the power of faith. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a young woman who was chosen by God to bear His son. Despite the many challenges and hardships that she faced, she remained faithful to God’s plan for her life. This is a powerful reminder that, no matter what challenges we may face in life, we can trust in God and have faith that He will guide us and help us through any difficulty.
Finally, the story of Christmas is important because it reminds us of the value of selflessness and service. Jesus, as the son of God, came to Earth not to be served, but to serve others. He spent His life helping those in need, and teaching us about the importance of loving and serving one another. This is a powerful reminder that we should strive to be selfless and to put others before ourselves, just as Jesus did.
I hope that this has helped to answer your question, Nephew. The story of Christmas is a truly amazing and inspiring tale, and it is important for us to remember it and to be inspired by it each and every day.
Love,
David.
