The True Meaning of Christmas

by PamFord Davis  
12/07/2023 / Holidays

Years ago, our children helped decorate the Christmas tree. We were living in a  campground in southern California and managed to find room for a small tree.There was little expense.

April and Lee helped string popcorn and made colorful construction paper chains. The hanging of candy canes completed the decorating of our camper Christmas tree. Including children in Christmas decorating and cookie baking is memorable. Teaching them the things of God is much more important.

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up (Deuteronomy 6:4-7 KJV).”

Teach the children.

“And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn (Luke 2:4-7 KJV).”

Teach children the true meaning of Christmas.

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:21 KJV).”
