Description

Child in the Manger, The True Meaning of ChristmasWhat is Christmas? For many it is a time for holidays, parties, family gatherings, gifts, meals together, music, and special events. For others it can mean unwanted pressure, an increased sense of loneliness, family squabbles, and crowded shops. For those living in the Northern Hemisphere, Christmas takes place at the onset of winter with its cold weather and short days. There are more incidents of depression at Christmas time than at any other time

What is Christmas? For many it is a time for holidays, parties, family gatherings, gifts, meals together, music, and special events. For others it can mean unwanted pressure, an increased sense of loneliness, family squabbles, and crowded shops. For those living in the Northern Hemisphere, Christmas takes place at the onset of winter with its cold weather and short days. There are more incidents of depression at Christmas time than at any other time of the year. It is the best of times for some, but the worst of times for others to borrow a phrase from Charles Dickens. But Christmas is a very elusive thing, isn’t it? We may look forward to it. But what exactly is ‘it’? ‘A time for children’; ‘It’s about peace’; ‘It’s about family’; ‘It’s about gifts, but it’s a pity it has become so commercialised’ – these are a few of the popular answers to the question, ‘What does Christmas mean to you?’ But what is Christmas really all about? Does it actually have any ‘meaning’? Child in the Manger – The True Meaning of Christmas sets out to explore that question. When we find the answer we realise that it isn’t only for Christmas time. So these pages are an invitation to explore what that meaning is. And if this book has come into your hands around Christmas time, may it help you to enjoy it in a new way! The birth of Jesus divided history into two major epochs. Until the dawn of our hyper-sensitive age, even the way we dated events underscored this. From time immemorial every day, every week, every month, every year has been described as either ‘B.C.’ (‘Before Christ’) or ‘A.D.’ (Anno Domini, ‘in the year of our Lord’). Even the modern, pluralistic style abbreviations, B.C.E. (‘Before the Common Era’) and C.E. (‘Common Era’), cannot obliterate the indelible impress of Jesus’ birth. For what makes the ‘Common Era’ so ‘common’? And what explains the dividing line date? The answer is the same: the birth of Jesus. At the very centre of history stands the person of Jesus Christ. And he does so because he is at the centre of God’s story.

Great product and I will buy again
Use this product and your skin will be soft. My feet are alligator tough and this helps them immensely if I leave it on over night in socks. Even my toes are rough. This makes it so much better. Be consistent. This size was industrial strength !

Very thin, smells great but nowhere near the heavy original Nivea
I wanted to try this instead of the thick heavy original Nivea cream that I love using at night, mostly for my hands but also face and all body. This one is a great cream, very fast absorbent, beautiful smell, etc. but my hands are dry after like two minutes. I know it's not for hands but I was expecting similar power like the heavy stuff. If you are looking for comparison with Nivea Soft, then Nivea Soft is actually a little thicker and slower to absorb than this one. Just slightly but it seems so to me. It's still a great cream, just nowhere near the original thick kind.
