“Joy to the world, the Lord is come, let earth receive her King!”

普世欢腾! 救主下降!大地结她君王

December reminds us that the Christmas season is upon us. Come let’s share the holy season together. Take the opportunity to invite friends and family to join in the celebrations planned here at NLCC.

十二月份提醒了我们圣诞季节的到来。我们一起来分享这圣洁的季节。用这个机会来邀请家人朋友来参与新生基督教会的庆祝活动。

To many in the western world, Christmas – if it is allowed to be mentioned and celebrated – is nothing more than just Santa Claus, Father Christmas, holidays and parties. Its festivities without much spiritual meaning.

对于许多在西方国家的人们，圣诞节—如果允许被提及和庆祝的话—无非就是圣诞老人，节假日和派对。就是没有太多属灵意义的庆祝活动。

However, for us who are Christians, we who bear the name of Christ, it is a poignant season to remember the Son of God who came into this world to save us from our sins. It is a season to be grateful and thankful. It is a season to count our blessings, and so in His name, seek to be a blessing to others in His name. He came as a remedy for our sin and guilt and shame. He came to defeat death so that in Him, all may have life. Jesus Christ is the Good News for the world.

然而，对于我们基督徒来说，我们背着基督的名字，是感动的季节，纪念来到这个世界把我们从罪孽中拯救出来的神子。是感恩和感谢的季节。是数算我们祝福的季节，所有奉他的名，寻求成为其他人的祝福。他为我们的罪孽，羞愧和耻辱付出赎价而来。他来战胜了死亡，以至于在他里面，所有都可以有生命。耶稣基督是这个世界的好消息。

May the way we celebrate Christmas be an expression of our sincere adoration and worship of Jesus Christ who came to be our Saviour and King.

让我们庆祝圣诞节的方式成为来作我们救主和王的他真诚仰慕和敬拜的表达。
