The Meaning of Christmas
■‘The Meaning of Christmas” is often lost or
forgotten for a time as the celebrations pf the
modern Yule tide Season take precedence over»,all
else. Because this is so, and because children can
express themselves so clearly without prejudice or
malice w*e asked the students at Calvin Christian
School, Clinton to write brief essays on what
Christmas means to them.
Principal Peter Fedema has selected seven
essays from his class pf Grade 7 and 8. We are
proud to publish them here so they, may add extra
blessings to your Christmas 1966,

On this bay a child was born
in Bethlehem. Angels pf God
spread the pews. Wiisemen paid
homage to the child. This child
was the Lord Jesus Christ,

Christmas does noit mean
time -for Santa Claus but
means the birth of Jesus Christ
pur Saviour.
We give gifts because of
God’s great gift, Jesus Christ
Who was born, to save us from,
our sins. We should be more
'thankful for this great gift
than any Christmas gift we
might receive.
Jesus humbled himself when
he came, into this world. He be

I’m sure everyone in this dis
trict, .young or old knows the
Chnistm'as story,
Christ the new-born Saviour
was born in> a manger in Beth
lehem where shepherds and
wise men worshipped Him.
But how many stop to think
what this rea'lly means? How
many actually warship Christ
and praise God for His wonder
ful gift?
Most of us will go to church
and sing carols but are we . cele
brating Jesus’ birthday or are
we having our own Christmas
in our own fashion?
Did you ever, stop to think
that if Christ was not bom
there would be no Christmas?
What is our attitude towards
this glorioUs event?

i'Chnistmas is the day when
everyone Shoulld be happy. It is
the day when our dear Saviour,
Jesus Christ came to conquer
Satan, to cleanse man’s Wicked
heart and to establish His
Kingdom.
Christmas, brings back to my
heart the glad tidings of the
Good Shepherd, who. set his own
life aside coming from heaven,
a place of rightousness and
peace, to this destructive, wick
ed world, among ’sinners to
seek and to save that which is
lost.
Christmas also shows me the
love of God, my Farther, in
John 3:16 saying "For God so
loved the world that he gave
his only begotten' son, our Lord,
Jesus .Christ, that we should
not perish”.
Let us worship our Saviour-
King.
