Does this express the Christian view of Christmas? If you are not Christian, does it help you understand them?

The Virgin’s Child





Trembling on the edge of a miracle


The whole world holds its breath


For a virgin holds within her


womb


Our deliverance from death





In a tiny town called Bethlehem


There walks an anxious man


He leads a tiny donkey


On it's back is God's Wondrous


Plan





He trudges through the crowded


streets


Looking weary and forlorn


Till he finds a humble stable


Where the virgin's Child is born





Behold, the sky is filled with


angels


Men's hearts quiver at the sight


Now hear the glorious


proclamation


You shepherds who watch in the


night





"Fear not, oh simple shepherds


For the virgin has given birth


We bring you tidings of great joy


And peace to men on earth"





The Magi come to worship Him


Heaven's King, foretold


To honor Him with gifts of myrrh


And frankincense, and gold





Following a star bright as


morning


To the feet of the virgin's Son


They come from the mystic Orient


To worship the Promised One





He was born amongst the animals


Like the sacrifice He was to be


Though the world could barely


make Him room


He came to change our destiny





To a world that hardly seemed to


care


God's Greatest Gift was given


His Word was fulfilled, His


Promise kept


He sent us the Treasure of Heaven





He is standing and knocking at the


door


Oh, don't leave Him outside


Make room in your heart for the


virgin's Child


On this joyous Christmastide

Reply:Oh my that was most touching.


I think I will print it out and post it on the church bulletin board.
Reply:I like it. I like it a lot.
Reply:I am a Christian and I think anything that tells the miraculous story of Jesus Christ is a Christian's view of Christmas because without Him there would be no Christmas..
Reply:Yes. Thank you for sharing that. God Bless
Reply:Yes this has already been posted..


I remember reading not too long ago.


I's a beautiful read now as it was before.

Reply:Let's look at the origins of Christmas traditions.





The tree? Pagan.


The garland? Pagan.


The topper? Pagan.


The ornaments? Pagan.


The presents? Pagan.


The nativity? Pagan (this, specifically, Mithraism).


The feast? Pagan.


The very date itself? Pagan.





Number of Gospels which describe the Birth in any depth?


Only 2 of 4.





Number of times the Apostles celebrate Jesus's birth?


Never.





Number of times the Bible (OT and NT) condemns God's people participating in pagan traditions?


Too numerous to count.





How the Bible refers to God's people participating in pagan traditions?


Abomination.





Literally the only thing 'Christian' about it is the name you ascribe to the infant in the manger.





More to the point -- why do Christians celebrate an abomination?
Reply:Thanks for your gift and out of respect I wish you the happiest of days. *S*
Reply:Real Christians don't celebrate Christmas!

Reply:Thats a beautiful Poem, and is does express the Biblical view of Christmas, The BIble says in Matthew chapter 2 that The angel came to jesus and told mary that she had been Chosen of God, that she would bear a Son, and that his name would be called Jesus, for he would save his people from there sin. Keep sharing the real emaning of Christmas, you never know when you might lead someone too a personal relationship too Jesus Christ.
Reply:Excellent GOD bless and see you around.
