God with Us; God for Us

[Church of Nigeria] 5 Jan 2008--Christmas is here again, and with it the debate on the propriety of the celebration. It has been argued that Christmas is an invention of the Church and that Christ would be embarrassed to find his birth celebrated as it is today. Agreed, much of what passes today for Christmas celebration has little or no bearing with Christ.

Despite the bastardization, Christians should rediscover and take joy in Christmas. They would be doing nothing strange; only following in the steps of the angelic band that heralded the mystery divine.
