The essence of the day: Chrismas day is a day set aside to celebrate Jesus who was sent by God in heaven to majorly come and save mankind, he was here on earth mainly to deliver his people from the torment of the devil and from their sins. He went about doing good with the consent of the Father at all times and through the help of the holy Spirit.
We cannot but celebrate the coming of Jesus for coming in love for mankind; to give hope to the hopeless, to heal the sick, to awaken the depressed, to bless God's people all over; to save people from the wickedness of this world and above all, to give the hope of an eternal life; a glorious hereafter. So, the birth of this great King(the birth of baby Jesus then even scared king Herod) who came in human nature in an unnatural way cannot but be celebrated.
For you to know that Jesus is didn't just come to the world just like any man would come, wise men not ordinary men could discern that a special kind of person of a kingly honour has been brought to the world just at the hour it took place and they had to go in search of this glorious King. They branched at Herod's palace because they knew it was a royal star they saw, but it was an heavenly royal star. They probably thought since this star is so glorious, may be it is related to the palace for it to have been that glorious. It caused them to go in search of and pay homage to the newly born. Herod was also planning to eliminate this baby with such great glory, but he cannot even be eliminated, all happened to fulfil the scriptures. Jesus was safe from Herod's evil plan to show you that you can be delivered from all evil on earth as long as God is backing you up;He always will.
He came to do all that he did with the help of the Father and the Holy Spirit just to fulfill scriptures, to fulfill God's word spoken by the Prophets of old. He himself said he hasn't come to nullify the law but that the law might be established. All through new testament you'll see this.
Therefore, he wasn't just in the world, His coming had been announced from the time of old that he was going to come for human beings through the love of God for us. His coming has been long announced, and we saw the great miraculous and wonderful lifestyle that followed his birth.
Jesus didn't just happen, he came for a purpose which had long before his coming spoken of and he should be celebrated for the good he came to do for us humans.
Christmas day all over the world is a day set aside to celebrate Jesus Christ for the purpose and significance of his coming to the world. It is good to be appreciative of the essence of his coming;the reason for Christmas.
