Fröhliche Weihnachten - (German)
Joyeux Noel - (French)
Buone Feste Natalizie - (Italian)
Kung His Hsin Nien bing Chu Shen Tan - (Chinese)
What do these all mean? MERRY CHRISTMAS. But someone had to translate for you because they were in a different language. A language that we didn't understad. A translation is when someone takes a Word you don't know, and puts it in the language you DO know.
The Bible says in John 1:1 that the WORD was with God and the WORD was God. But there is a problem, because you and I don't speak the language of God. So God translated his word for us by putting his WORD into a language we could understand.
John 1:14 says "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." God sent his Word into the language that we could understand - skin and bone.
If someone ever asks you, "Do you believe in the Inerrant Word of God?" Say, "Yes, his Name is Jesus."
Next time you hear someone at a restaurant speaking a language you don't understand, just remember, without God's translation of Jesus, we wouldn't understand him either.
Feliz Navidad, próspero año y felicidad
(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year)
