WHAT IS CHRISTMAS TO YOU ???



CHRISTMAS  TIME  IS  CELEBRATED  THROUGHOUT  THIS  WHOLE  EARTH,
BUT  IT  IS  NOT  IN  RECOGNITION  OF  JESUS  CHRISTS'  BIRTH.
IT  PAINS  ME  TO  SAY  THAT  IT  IS  MORE  ABOUT  PRESENTS,
THAN  IT  IS  ABOUT  THE  ONE  WHO  LIVED  AMONG  PEASANTS.
WHO  WHEN  HE  WALKED  UPON  EARTH  GAVE  SIGHT  TO  THE  BLIND,
AND  THEN  DIED  ON  THE  CROSS  FOR  THE  SINS  OF  MANKIND.
EACH  TIME  I  THINK  ABOUT  IT  A  TEAR  COMES  TO  MY  EYE,
FOR  IT  WAS  BECAUSE  OF  MY  SINS  THAT  JESUS  CHRIST  HAD  TO  DIE.
