Today Is Christmas

Today is Christmas!
A day set aside
By Christian authorities 
To celebrate the birth
Of someone special 
Whose coming was foretold 
By the prophet of old
To  lead to the rising 
And falling of many in Israel 
A heavenly king in form
Of a human child born of
Virgin Mary in lowly town of
Bethlehem of Judea
And in keeping with his mission 
He went up disgracefully to the
Cross crucified and was buried 
And rose up on the third day
Ascended into heaven and now
Seated at the right side of his father
Who sent him on the mission 
To redeem the world and bring 
Back all his father’s creation
Into his heavenly kingdom 
Christmas is time for appreciation to God
For giving us His most precious possession 
Giving is the basis of His birth
God gave us His best at Christmas
We need to give Him our best
We celebrate Jesus of story
We celebrate Jesus of history 
Above all we celebrate Jesus revealed by Holy Spirit
Merry Christmas!
