In the case of the US or Europe, it is huge. In December, the whole festival atmosphere
it gets crazy Every house, every street, there is a beautiful decoration. large in each city
The Christmas tree is erected and colorful lights are lit. Turn on the radio or watch TV
It's all festivals and carols. For them, December is a product only for Christmas.
A country's GNP varies greatly. It is truly a great festival for a long period of time.
In every neighborhood, every house is decorated for Christmas, so contests are held.
Brilliant lamps are shining all over the house. to see this town
I drive around the neighborhood and take a look around. The same town for Christmas
It's completely different when the month comes. People change too. To anyone "Mary Chris
They shout “Mas”. They are giving blessings for a Merry Christmas.
What do these mean? What are all these festivals and decorations and fires?
does it make sense? Sometimes believers need to be able to see spiritual meaning in worldly things.
All. They symbolize what God has given. Yes. Christmas is new
It's the first day life comes down to the world. A whole new world has appeared.
A new race, humans living like gods, came down from heaven with a new age.
the bible says There was no light in the world. Everyone was engulfed in darkness.
Because life is extinguished from the souls of men. soul filled with God
There should have been, but people rejected God. I think I can live on my own
because it did Cut off from God, their souls died. make the light

Life exists only in God. The Bible says, "This life is the light of men."
do. The soul has life by receiving God. heart filled with light
You can see everything right away. The day the light came down on the world was Christmas
to be. All the colorful decorations made by people all celebrate the light of Christmas.
jingle Even if they did not know it, God speaks to the elect with it.
“The people who walked in darkness saw a great light, and to those who lived in the land of the shadow of death
light shines” (Isaiah 9:2). But this light was spiritual.
Lin people could not see. So the Bible says "Light rains on darkness
But the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:4) As a result, Christmas came and the new age
The prize has come, but the light has not reached the hearts of many.
In fact, even in the turmoil of Christmas, there are people who live completely different from this atmosphere.
All. are the Jews They have no Christmas tree, no gifts, no joy. That
Christmas is a meaningless day for them. The whole world is excited, and even the unbelievers
But only Jews don't have a Christmas. For them, Christmas is more than a normal day.
Can not do it. Because they are specially trained to be aloof at Christmas.
They live in AD, but still have a soul in BC. There is still a savior
has not been They have strict religious ceremonies and traditions. pontiff
There is also a temple. There are also laws to be followed. But there is no light. life
none. There is no forgiveness or power. There is no more comfort in heaven. they are endless
There is only the suffering of life to carry, and there is only eternal darkness.
In addition to this, unbelievers also live in B.C.E. A savior even for unbelievers
He came, but he didn't welcome him. No matter how many lights are turned on and gifts are exchanged
The life of Christ has nothing to do with them. drinking with friends
Even through the night, there is no blessing in them. As empty as post-Christmas decorations
will be. Their job is to quickly bring in the light of life.
So what is the state of believers? We are the people of A.D. and that privilege
are you enjoying Are you living there, feeling the new world? new race
Are you reborn in this self and live with that power? what other believers
Are you living like Jesus, a shining person in heaven, no matter what you say? spiritual
Those who cannot see the light remain Jewish.
