On this, the 25th of December 2016, we commemorate the birth of the long awaited Messiah, Jesus Christ The Lord. There is no Christmas without Christ, so we celebrate and rejoice in the greatest gift ever given to humanity. Why did God come to us the way He did? Luke 2:1-20 and John 1:1-14 give us the "good news of great joy" and remind us what Christmas is really all about. Let us rejoice and sing, for The Lord Is Come!
