Christmas: from two words:
1) Christ: which is the Greek (Christos) version of the Hebrew word Messiah, which means Anointed One or King.
2) Masse: which is from the Old English Maesse, which means Mass or Communion.
Christmas is the time we celebrate King Jesus' communion (common union) with humanity.
The Sovereign King and Creator of the Universe stepped down from heaven in the flesh and "pitched his tent among us" (John 1:14) to bring us back from independence and brokenness into common union, i.e. right relationship, with the source of life and light - Himself.
This Christmas my prayer and hope is that you celebrate the incarnation of King Jesus and find light and life in communion with Him.
The thrill of hope
a weary world rejoices
for yonder breaks
a new and GLORIOUS morn'
Merry Christmas!
-Kevin
