Merry Christmas to Our SAK/MT Friends

Remember, Christmas is not about possessions, it's about family. God Bless to y'all and yours.:)
It's really about GOD's grace and giving in love. It's about GOD humbling Himself to become one of us so He could later give Himself as payment of our debt. Christmas is but one piece of a much larger story. Christmas shouyld be a remembrance of the piece of the story.

Christmas is about GOD becoming on of us --- "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."


The meaning of Christmas from a ~800 year old hymn:

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
