Tract: Jesus The Real Meaning of Christmas

Christmas. Kids and retailers love it. Parents spend months paying for it! Still, when it’s all said and done—and paid for!—Christmas means family, friends, gifts, and lasting memories.

   Ever wonder what Christmas means to God? After all, it began as the celebration of His Son’s birth.

   The Christ Child is more than just a convenient backdrop for holiday festivities. In fact, Jesus Christ came to earth on a mission. His birth set in motion a plan that eventually led Him to die...for all of us. The real meaning is not wrapped up in the Baby in a manger, but in what His birth, life, death, and resurrection accomplished.

   From God’s perspective, taken from the Bible, here’s how you can find the real meaning of Christmas.

A Problem Needing a Solution

There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no

one who understands, no one who seeks God....all

have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:10, 11, 23

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond

cure. Who can understand it?   Jeremiah 17:9

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the

end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12

The Only Solution

No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is

born again.        John 3:3

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth

and the life. No one comes to the Father except

through Me.”   John 14:6

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no

other name under heaven given to men by which

we must be saved.   Acts 4:12

Christ, Our Perfect Substitute

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us

has turned to his own way; and the Lord has

laid on him [Christ] the iniquity of us all.  

Isaiah 53:6

God made him [Jesus] who had no sin to be sin for us,

so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.   2 Corinthians 5:21

Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for

the unrighteous, to bring you to God. 1 Peter 3:18

Belief Brings Eternal Life

God so loved the world that he gave his one and

only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not

perish but have eternal life.   John 3:16

[Jesus said,] “I give them eternal life, and they

shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of

my hand.”   John 10:28

Therefore he [Christ] is able to save completely those

who come to God through him, because he always

lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25

Put Christ in This Christmas!

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins

may be wiped out....Believe in the Lord Jesus, and

you will be saved.   Acts 3:19,16:31

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and

believe in your heart that God raised him from the

dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
