Biblical Concept: Christmas, the Humility of God
Christmas[1] - The Creator[2] God[3] became human[4], lived as humans[5], suffered for humans[6], and died physically[7] and spiritually[8] for humans. An amazing plan[9]. The humility[10] of God--unexpected by angels[11]--is the master-stroke[12] in the Angelic Conflict. Merry Mass of Christ.
[1] ”1. December 25th, a holiday celebrated by Christians as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus. 2. The Christian church festival extending from December 24 (Christmas Eve) through January 6th (Epiphany). In this sense, also called Christmastide.” Christ + mass = a celebration of Christ.
