Why is it important to understand the full meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ? Because in the birth of Christ all problems have a solution so there is no reason for all the mess we are seeing in this world. For four thousand years before the coming of Christ, the human race was grasping for answers to the human dilemma. Since the coming of Christ and with the over two billion professing Christians in the world, we have no excuse to live in a darkened world.
