Why do we celebrate Christmas?

Hey hey! It's Christmas eve! Tomorrow is the day we celebrate Jesus's birth!

Jesus is God's son, and he came to earth as a man. This is because God loved us so much he wanted to rescue us from our sin and have a personal relationship with each of us. Because as humans basically we think we can be the boss of our own life and try to go our own way instead of God's way (this is basically what sin is) even though God loves us. The payment for sin would be death. He knew the only way of rescuing us from our sin and having a personal relationship with us was possible, was for Jesus to die on the cross - taking the punishment for all our sins. And because Jesus did that, we can turn to God and all our sin is dealt with! And not only that - God has power over death - and we know this because he rose Jesus to life!!! This means we too can be raised to life if we just turn to him - and not only that but while we live on Earth we have life and life in all it's fullness because Jesus Christ has set us free!!We can have a real personal relationship with God our father :) This is the best best best news ever.

There are different acounts of when this happened in Matthew, Mark , Luke and John in the bible if you wanna check it out for yourself. Or talk to someone who you know knows Jesus...like me! Or even better just pray now and invite him into your life.
Letting him into your life is the best decision you could ever make... :)

Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas xx
