The True Meaning of Christmas - Fill In the Blanks

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of all our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen.

Is it true? This whole story of Christmas?


Who can tell me the story of Christmas?


What was God like before Christmas?


Do any of you have a baby brother or sister? What are they like? Are they powerful? Can they do anything for you? Can they do anything for themselves?


Now what was God like before Christmas? … And what was God like on Christmas?


What does that mean to you? How does that change your life? How does that change all of our lives?


O God, how great, how strong, how bold,
You ruled our lives both young and old,
And then one day in winter cold,
You gave yourself to us to hold.

From that day on our world was new,
Our vengeful God, away he flew,
Now at our breast, the baby grew,
Our God, with us, was human too.

The strife and hate of old were done,
The ancient war at last was won,
New life we found in God the Son,
Our loving God, the Three in One.
