The true meaning of Christmas

Sermon synopsis: In our secular age it can be very difficult to discover the true meaning of Christmas.
Some see Christmas simply as a time to have drunken parties. This is how they honour the birth of the Lord.
Others are caught up in the commercialisation of Christmas and see it just as a time for receiving gifts – forgetting the greatest gift of all – God’s gift of his Son.
John 3:16 (ESV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
