十二月是聖誕節的月份,從街道上的商店,電視中的廣告,公司裡的派對,到每個人心中所計劃的節目、聖誕卡與禮物,都好像不斷在為聖誕節營造氣氛。隨著接近平安夜的來臨,聖誕節的氣氛漸漸濃厚起來,然而沒有多少人留意聖誕節的主角卻不在慶祝的人心中。
平安夜之所以充滿平安,聖誕節之所以使普世得以歡騰,今天在興奮地籌備節日的人心中已不願多提了。因此,人便在節日中醉生夢死,貪婪地呼吸著狂歡所帶來的麻醉,然後再一次無奈地等待狂歡過後的空虛。平安夜過後街道上將會顯得特別的蕭條。
天使在第一個聖誕節向約瑟宣告,神要與人同在了,因為這個嬰孩耶穌要將人類從黑暗中拯救出來!平安夜之所以充滿平安,因為人可以離開黑暗,進入奇妙的義光中。聖誕節之所以是歡樂的,因為我們的罪可以被神所赦免。神在基督裡與人同在了,這就是聖誕節的核心意義,我們為此而歡騰!
December is the season of Christmas, from the shops to the commercials on the television to parties in companies, people are planning for their activities, Christmas cards and presents, and with all these things, the feeling of Christmas is added more and more in the air. Following to the coming of the peaceful eve of Christmas, the feeling is higher and higher, but no one cares about whom they are going to celebrate for this birthday.
The reason for Silent Night to have such peaceful silence, and the joy for all people to share for Christmas, now seems to have no point in the hearts of those who are preparing for the season. Thus so, people make merry and die, and greedily take every breath of the breeze of laughter in the air to wait for another day of emptiness to fall. In the morning after the Christmas Eve all the streets are dead.
Emmanuel was the news that the angels announced to Joseph, for a child was going to be born into the world to deliver people from the dark! Silent Night is so peaceful to us is because people can leave the darkness and enter into the wonderful light of righteousness. We love to celebrate Christmas for God has forgiven us. God is with us in Christ, and this is the meaning of Christmas, for which we celebrate today with joy overflowing!
