Quote by Monica Johnson

It's funny how we 'do' Christmas. Christmas is not something that we do, it is something that was done. It celebrates the long awaited arrival of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. We had nothing to do with it, but what we can do is praise God for the coming of the Lord, who washed away the sins of the world by dying on the cross.

It's funny how we 'do' Christmas. Christmas is not something

Summary

This quote highlights the irony in the way we often approach Christmas. It emphasizes that Christmas is not merely a holiday we actively engage in, but rather a commemoration of a significant event in history - the arrival of Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. It challenges the notion that our actions alone can bring about the meaning of Christmas, but instead suggests that we should focus on celebrating and praising God for the profound impact of Christ's sacrifice in cleansing humanity's sins by his crucifixion.

Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil but its duty, like that of other passions, is not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize in the imagination, to raise phantoms of horror, or to beset life with supernumerary distresses.
