“Christmas is for the children,” we often say.

But after tearing open the latest plastic present, children soon get bored with it – or it falls apart – whichever comes first.

our children have no future but to live and die for no reason whatever . . . .

The Bible says, “While all things were in silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, God’s almighty Word leapt down from heaven.” (Book of Wisdom, chapter 18)

Do you believe that?

If you do, you have discovered the meaning of Christmas . . . and of the Universe . . . .
