Christmas Thoughts 2025

This season we celebrate the person who has made the greatest impact on human existence. This time of the year, billions alter their routines to celebrate our Savior’s birthday.  Jesus was born of a young virgin woman named Mary in an obscure village.  Though He last walked on this earth more than two thousand years ago, His impact has shaped and continues to shape countless areas of civilization.

As I am sure you know, every time you check your calendar, or refer to a date, or write one down, you are using Jesus Christ as your reference point.  Because of Jesus, history is divided into BC (before Christ) and AD (anno Domini, in the year of our Lord).  Every other event in history and every event on your calendar are dated by how many days and years it has been since historians originally calculated the date Jesus Christ first appeared on earth. The staunchest atheist still has to use this dating system. Even your birthday is dated by His birthday. Even your high tech Google calendar uses the birthday of our Lord and Savior as the reference point.

I am sure Jesus Christ is much more than a dating reference point to the Antioch-Lithonia Church members. He is the Center Of Our Joy and that’s why we give Him Total Praise!
