Christmas - Fact or Fiction - ‘History' or Children's story?

Christmas is a time when we make a lot of decisions - what to buy for our children as loved ones? Do we have a turkey like every other year? Shall we give Mum a treat and have Christmas lunch at a restaurant - can we afford it all? So many decisions, but yet the most important one at this time is the one we make about The Christmas Child - the ‘Christ Child'. Is he the Son of God or was it just a nice story? For God so loved the world that he gave his only son (as a present to the world), that those who believe in him should not perish but have eternal life! If God's son really did come down to earth as a baby, live on earth as a boy and a man, spend 3 years teaching, healing and showing us the love of God, was cruelly put to death on a cross, only to rise from the dead 3 days later -if all that is fact, then his is the most important birthday in the world.

Those who believe in him have eternal life - an eternity of ‘Happy Christmases'. If it's fiction, well have a happy Christmas in 2007! It's for you to decide!
