Millions will be celebrating this day as the birth of Jesus Christ. Although that is the common conception of this day, there is some evidence that Jesus was born during a much warmer time of year.

That aside, our world would be much different if Jesus had never come. Our calendars would be dated differently. Different personalities and principles would have shaped many of the political power struggles over the centuries. The fact is that Jesus Christ pervades every fiber of our society in one way or another.

When the angels appeared to the shepherds in the field, they said they brought “glad tidings of great joy.” The good news was that He was Jesus (meaning Savior), who is Christ (Messiah, the anointed one) the Lord (Sovereign Ruler).

Who is Jesus to you? What does He mean in your life?

“Therefore let it be known to you…that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things…” (Acts 13:38,39).
