What time is Christmas? Most will say...”of course—it is December 25,” and while the date is widely observed to commemorate Jesus’ birth, popular American culture tends to focus on a gift-giving holiday filled with toys, shopping, eating and decorations. However, remembering Jesus’ birth means much, much more. Christians remember that at the right time, God sent his Son to save us, help release our fears, rebuild relationships and renew our faith. Some of the early witnesses to Jesus’ birth were terrified and amazed, and others had to be reassured that his birth did indeed bring good news to a people in hope a savior. The events that unfolded over 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem made salvation possible for us, so the time for Christmas is your time to turn to Jesus.
