Over and over, the Bible shows us the real meaning of life, work, family, and it even fully explains the real meaning of Christmas, for those who want to know God's truth and take the time to read it for themselves. Here is one, of many, biblical passages that speak of God's singular truth of Christmas; the only reason that God came to live among humans in the physical embodiment of Jesus Christ.
Luke 24:36-53
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of
them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto
you.
37 But they were
terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that
it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye
see me have.
40 And when he had thus
spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and
wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any
meat?
42 And they gave him a
piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43
And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was
yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law
of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning
me.
45 Then opened he their
understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus
it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead
the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye
are witnesses of these things.
49
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry
ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he
lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from
them, and carried up into heaven.
52
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were continually in the
temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
