There is a possibility that our minds are swimming in confusion as a result of a lifetime of Christmas television programs that have asked or attempted to answer the topic of the “real meaning of Christmas.” Are we talking about home, family, generosity, love, brotherhood, or some other hidden spiritual meaning that only the most profound thinkers or those who have been more brainwashed can comprehend? When we search the pages of the Bible for the answers, we constantly find the same answers; nevertheless, there is one response that stands out above the rest of them. It has been revealed that the issue in question was the identical one that Pontius Pilate, the Roman Procurator, had proposed. Despite the fact that Pilate was aware that the Jews had given Christ to him out of spite and envy, he was the only one who had the authority to determine what would happen to Jesus while he was in captivity. In response to this query, Pilate posed the following: “…What will I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ?” Matthew 27:22 It’s a strange coincidence, but the solution is Pilates! In point of fact, that is the one solution. The answer to Pilate’s inquiry is the key to understanding Christmas and the reasons why so many people choose to oppose what it represents. It might be that nativity scenes, Christmas specials, church performances with young children, family get-togethers, presents, and goodwill are just some of the things that contribute to the holiday spirit. In a single question, however, the whole significance of Christmas may be summed up as the issue of what we shall do with Jesus Christ. The difference between celebrating his birthday and celebrating his birth is the issue that has to be answered. His precise birthday is of little significance, but the fact that he was born is the redemption of mankind. Not only does this question provoke the ire of the atheist, but it also invokes the divine character that is present in genuine persons. When the question is addressed in the appropriate manner, it gives birth to new life. The easiest way to put it is to quote Jesus, who stated, “I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” 10:10 b of John When it comes to finding the answer to Pilate’s query, we have no choice but to go to the Apostle Peter. When Jesus Christ questioned Peter, “Who do folks believe I am?” and then asked Peter who he thought he was, he responded by saying, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 1:16b) After Peter’s response, there is only one question that can be asked by everyone, and that is, what are you going to do with this guy Jesus? If we did not include a third and final question, we would be making a grave error. For those of you who are now in the process of looking for the ideal present, it may come as a surprise to find that Christ also encouraged us to look for the ideal gift by just asking a single significant question. There were a lot of questions that the woman at the well in Samaria asked Jesus, and she also disputed with him on several theological topics including the appropriate way to worship and the location of the worship service. Christ redirected her attention away from the ritual and liturgy that was taking place. One of the ways that Jesus hammered home the point was by requesting that she acknowledge who he really was and then asked for a gift from him. Jesus spoke to her and said, “If you understood the gift of God and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink, then you would have asked him, and he would have given you live water.” This is an example of what Jesus might have replied. 4:10 of John Too easy to understand? Not at all; in point of fact, Christmas is not about anything other than the three most crucial questions that any individual or country will ever pose. 1. What are your plans for the one who is known as Jesus? Secondly, who do you believe he is? 3. Are you going to come to him and beg for the gift of everlasting life? “For the gift of God is everlasting life through Jesus Christ, our Lord; yet, the punishment for sin is death,” writes the Bible.
