*✍?The season of Christmas is a season of merriment and celebration. Often, we get so carried away in the merriments and celebrations that we almost totally forget the essence of the festival. Christmas is a time the church has chosen to commemorate the birth of Jesus. This does not in any way suggest that Jesus was born on December 25th but only serves as a symbolic date the church found convenient to celebrate His birth. Beyond the merriments that go with it, every occasion of Christmas offers us à special opportunity to reflect on the mystery of divine love that moved God to give His only begotten Son for the salvation of the world. The big news of Christmas is that God became flesh in the womb of a Virgin, named Mary. She supernaturally became pregnant by the design of the Holy Spirit and gave birth to a Son, Jesus whose mission is to "save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21). The birth of the world's Saviour had been a subject of prophecy hundreds of years before it eventually happened. The prophet Isaiah had approached Ahaz king of Judah to encourage him in the wake of a conspiracy against Judah by Pekah the king of Israel and Rezin the king of Syria. Ahaz had not been a good king because of his flirtation with idolatry, despite that aberration, God decided to save him from his enemies because of the covenant He had with David. After Isaiah announced the promise of God to defend Judah, he asked Ahaz to ask for a sign from God that He would do what He promised. Upon Ahaz's refusal to ask for a sign, Isaiah declared, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14).*
*??Memory verse: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14)???*
