to give it to other people. nativity it is not only a place of beautiful traditions and warm family customs. this is our personal innermost heart of the holiday. on this day, we offer prayers of gratitude to the great god, the creator of the world, who now humbly reclines in a manger, like a pilgrimage. why did the lord come to our world? man is not able to overcome sin on his own and needs healing. sin not only darkens the earthly life of a person, it will lead to eternal death of his soul. however, a great doctor came into the world, and only he alone can heal and save a person from now on. everyone has the opportunity to receive spiritual healing and eternal salvation. we just need to respond to the gospel. the call of christ and try

to live according to his commandments. yes, this is a daily spiritual work and the symbol of this is the long christmas fast that precedes this great feast and prepares us for it. someone can say that after the incident of the world of the lord jesus christ, nothing has changed, people continue to suffer sick. was not the savior supposed to deliver each of us from the sorrows of need and disease? what then did christ change in our lives? the text of the gospel shows that many contemporaries of the earthly life of christ also thought when the savior performed miracles of healing , resurrected the dead or fed more than 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish. he was

followed by a large crowd of people in the hope of getting rid of their own technical needs. after all, if there is someone nearby who feeds, heals, relieves bodily death, then, according to many people, a real earthly paradise truly comes. that's why for jesus followed so many people. that is why he was so solemnly greeted at the entrance to jerusalem, but christ, after all, came into the world to save us from life’s sorrows for a year and from what is rubbed beyond the boundaries of earthly life from sin and eternal death, when jesus said in his sermon that the kingdom he was not of this world, then many who listened were perplexed, because they saw his miracles and thought that it was now that jesus would provide everyone with earthly well-being.

the gospel of john reveals to us many moments when christ spoke to people about the true purpose of his coming is the world and just such moments no small people left the savior saying, what strange words, who can listen to this? everyone was ready to receive from the lord healings by nourishment and other graces, but not everyone was able to accept the doctrine of repentance and deliverance from sin. the lord, jesus christ brought salvation to earth not from time to life's hardships or hardships from eternal spiritual death, which leads to sin. the entire gospel is permeated with the call of the lord to repentance, repent, for the kingdom of heaven has drawn near. what is repentance repentance from the changes of a person for the better, when

we, with god's help, reject those who live on sin and begin to live in the west of christ, strives for virtue, allowing more grace to gradually transform our soul and our life, only such a transformed soul is worthy of the eternal kingdom of heaven. if we carefully think about the meaning of the gospel events, we will see that the great miracles of the lord, jesus christ did not only to satisfy the temporary needs of people, because the healed were resurrected by the savior. anyway finished their earthly way, but miraculously sated. petya with bread god again experienced hunger. the miracles of christ were needed first of all in order to change the souls of people, to turn their hearts to the

correction of life, and thoughts about god and eternal life. the great feast of the nativity of christ reminds us of the need for such a spiritual transformation in our lives during the christmas period. it's not just beautiful flower traditions. this is an important occasion to remember that god came into this world for the sake of each of us. christmas is a holiday for each of us is a holiday that reminds us of the events that marked the beginning of our salvation. this reminder should be our guide to our daily work. he knows that the improvement of life i improve consists, first of all, in deeds. let 's try to do good things every day. fulfilling the commandments of the lord. the feast of the
