In a few days we shall celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must however acknowledge that Jesus was not really born on 25th December. He could have been born between late September and late October on the Jewish festival of tabernacles since He was God who became flesh and dwelt (tabernacle-d) among us (John 1:14). But that is not explicitly stated in the Bible. What is clearly written and repeatedly emphasized in the Bible is why Jesus was born. This therefore is what we must especially ponder and celebrate, even as we celebrate the Lord’s birth on 25th December.
