MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas from Broadman Baptist Church

Christmas means so many things to so many people.  Some of Christmas is cultural and religious dependent.  Some of Christmas is dependent upon your family traditions.  Some of Christmas is historic.  And the true Christmas story is Biblical.  Christmas is rejected by some and embraced by others.  Christmas sometimes evokes all kinds of responses.  But overall Christmas is a time of love, caring, generosity, sharing, traditions, ideals, beliefs, family, and the sacred all mixed together.

Luke 2:11 “Today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, was born for you in the City of David.”

To me Christmas is about Christ.  I can remember reading the Christmas story.  Remember learning about the birth of Chrsit and that the Savior of the Lord was born on earth to Save us.

I also remember the traditions of singing Christmas carols, Christmas school plays, Christmas Church Services, Christmas Trees, Christmas Lights, Christmas Cookies and so much more.  Christmas brings back very fond memories of peace, joy, love and faith.

I realize that Christmas may not be as pleasant for everyone depending upon the situation.  But the good news of Christmas is intended for all.

Joy to the World the Lord has come!
Have a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
