Thought I'd go straight in with a new post after my previous rant, even though I think it justified.

It is thought Jesus was born in August or September, but we stole a pagan festival held on 25 December and use it to remember the birth of Christ.

I find it interesting that the Bible does not tell us to to celebrate His birth or to do anything special regarding it.

Maybe it's because the New Testament concentrates on Jesus as a man, giving priority to His ministry and sacrifice on the cross.

However if Jesus was not born of a virgin then our salvation is of little value. We could no longer call Him the sinless, spotless lamb of God

But, Good News, He was born of a virgin, took our sins upon Himself and gave us the opportunity to become children of God.

Now that is GOOD NEWS
