Every year The Christmas Myth is resurrected and people all over the world go along with it as if it was a fact to be celebrated. There are songs, stories, movies, clothing, pictures and more associated with The Christmas myth. A myth, by definition, is a “an idea or story that is believed by many people but that is not true.” The proper meaning of Christmas is that time of the year when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah who would come for the purpose of paying the penalty for our sin debt. Satan has always done everything in his power to try and prevent the coming of the Saviour, but he failed. He tried to defeat the Saviour by having Him crucified, but that failed also. Jesus Christ is God, He is God the Son who left heaven’s glory and came to earth as was foretold in Isaiah 7:14: “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” The word “Immanuel” means “God with us.” Jesus is the name given to the Messiah at His birth. Mary, His human mother conceived Him of the Holy Ghost: “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” {Matthew 1:18-21}
