We have forgotten Christmas meaning

We as a nation have forgotten the real meaning of Christmas.

Take an evening drive through the suburbs and you will see homes lit up with many lights, Santa Claus and snowmen, which is fine, but very few nativity scenes, the real meaning of Christmas.

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator.

If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.

If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.

If our greatest need had been pleasure, Got would have sent us an entertainer.

But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Saviour.
