C
hristmas: (Lk 2:1-14): Why do we celebrate Christmas with great rejoicing?
1:First, Christmas is the Feast of God’s sending us a Savior :God undertook the Incarnation of Jesus as God-Man to save us from the bondage of sin. The Hindu Scriptures describe ten incarnations of God “
to restore righteousness in the world whenever there is a large-scale erosion of moral values.” But the Christian Scriptures teach only one Incarnation, and its purpose is given in John 3: 16: “
God so loved the world that He sent His only Son so that every one who believes in Him may not die, but have eternal life.”We celebrate the Incarnation of God as a baby today as Good
News because we have a Divine Savior. As our Savior, Jesus liberated us from slavery to sin by his suffering, death and Resurrection, and he atoned for our sins.
