每年12月25日是全世界大多数基督徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子。
教会开始并没有圣诞节,在耶稣升天后大约有一百多年的才能。据说:第一个圣诞节是在公元138年,圣克里门提议由罗马主教举行。
但教会的历史是公元336年来的第一个圣诞节。因为圣经没有明确记载耶稣出生的时间,所以各地圣诞节的日期各不相同。直到公元440年,罗马梵蒂冈才在12月25日决定圣诞节。1607年,世界各地教会领袖齐聚伯利恒,进一步给予确定,从此世界上大多数基督徒都以12月25日为圣诞节。其实哪一天没问题,更重要的应该知道是为了纪念救世主耶稣的诞生。
因为《圣经》记载耶稣是在夜间出生的,所以12月24日通行的通称是“昼夜圣堂”或“平安夜”。
耶稣降生后,有旧约先知预言说,“一定要让童女怀孕生个男孩,给他起个名字叫伊曼纽尔(意思是‘上帝和我们同在’)。”(以赛亚书14章7章,圣经下同)
耶稣降生的时候,有天使通知说:“不用怕,我给你大喜报的信息,关乎百姓;今天因为在大卫的城里,为你活了救主,就是主基督。你必须看到一个婴儿,鲍卓布,躺在马槽里,那就是象征。(加拿大路福音10-12章第2章)
耶稣降生的时候,有医生要敬拜,“他们看见那星就大大喜欢了。已经进屋,看到孩子和妈妈玛丽亚,同意了傅百妮的孩子,打开玩雅宝时用的小盒子,手拿着金子、乳香,药还没给他送礼。”(马太福音2章,共10-11章)
耶稣,意指“神要拯救”,因为圣经上说:“百姓都犯了罪,欠了神的荣耀。”(罗马书信23章3节)犯罪使人类离开生命的源头,宇宙的库存控制。犯罪使人失去正义、仁爱、自私自利、自大、贪婪、是恶的。犯罪破坏人与神、人与人之间的和谐关系,使人生活在无可奈何的痛苦中。犯罪将使人类的未来需要面对永远的刑罚和痛苦,“每个人都有一死,死后也有审判”。(希伯来书27章第9章)因为上帝是神圣的,正义!
但是,上帝也是爱的主人,他赐予普通人的独生子——耶稣基督,成为人类的风格(就是圣诞节),是我们救赎主人,他一定要把自己的普通人从罪恶中解救出来。(马太福音21章1节)他取代了我们的弱点,接受了我们的犯罪惩罚。“神使我们百姓的罪都归到他的身上”(以赛亚书53章6章)是我们钉在十字架上的罪钉。
今天,只要你忏悔自己的罪行,相信他,接受他成为你的救世主,你的罪行已经得到赦免,你就恢复了与上帝最初的和谐关系,你就永远的活着。今天你在心里接受耶稣,今天是你的圣诞节,愿上帝今年赐给你一个特别的圣诞节!

December 25 is the day most Christians around the world commemorate the birth of Jesus.
There was no Christmas at the beginning of the church, and there was about a hundred years of talent after Jesus ascended to heaven. It is said that the first Christmas was held in 138 AD when St. Clemens proposed that it be held by the bishop of Rome. But the history of the church was the first Christmas in 336 A.D.
Because the Bible does not clearly record the time when Jesus was born, the dates of Christmas vary from place to place. It was not until 440 that the Vatican decided on Christmas on December 25. In 1607, church leaders from all over the world gathered in Bethlehem to further determine. Since then, most Christians in the world have taken December 25 as Christmas day.
In fact, it is no problem which day, more importantly, we should know that it is in memory of the birth of the Savior Jesus.
Because the Bible records that Jesus was born at night, the popular name on December 24 is "Day and Night Church" or "Silent Night".
After the birth of Jesus, the prophets of the Old Testament predicted, "We must make the girl pregnant and give birth to a boy, and give him the name Emanuel (meaning God is with us)." (Isaiah 14:7, the same as the Bible)
When Jesus was born, an angel told him, "Don't be afraid, the message of my great joy to you concerns the people. Today, in the city of David, the Savior, the Lord Christ, has been alive for you. You have to see a baby, Bob, lying in the manger. That's the symbol. (Luke 10-12, Chapter 2, Canada)
When Jesus was born, a doctor wanted to worship him. "When they saw the star, they liked it very much. Having entered the house, I saw the child and mother Maria, and agreed with her children. She opened the small box for playing with Yabao, and held gold and frankincense in her hand. The medicine had not yet been given to him. (Matthew 2, chapters 10-11)
Jesus means "God wants to save," because the Bible says, "The people have sinned and owed the glory of God." (Roman Epistle 23:3) Crime takes man away from the source of life, the inventory control of the universe. Crime makes people lose justice, benevolence, selfishness, arrogance, greed and evil. Crime destroys the harmonious relationship between man and God, and between man and man, and makes people live in helpless pain.
Crime will make the future of mankind need to face eternal punishment and suffering, "Everyone has a death, there are trials after death". (Hebrews 27:9) Because God is holy, just!
But God is also the master of love. He has given Jesus Christ, the only son of ordinary people, the style of human beings (that is, Christmas), the master of our redemption. He must save his ordinary people from their sins. (Matthew 21:1) He replaced our weakness and accepted our criminal punishment. "God has put the sins of our people on him" (Isaiah 53:6) is our crucifixion.
Today, as long as you repent your sins, believe in him, accept him as your savior, and your sins have been forgiven, you will restore the original harmony with God, and you will live forever. Today you accept Jesus in your heart. Today is your Christmas. May God give you a special Christmas this year!
