The idea of describing the birth narrative of Jesus, the Son, into this world, as a tiny baby, born in a manger, as the divine "invasion" into the "war" zone where the ruler and king, a dictator, is Satan, the father of all lies, a dealer in sin. (Read Revelation 12)

Life here on earth as a Christian is never a vacation. It is the life as a soldier of Jesus Christ, called to do the will of God, that is, to save souls into His kingdom, making disciples of all nations. So be ready always. When you walk today and tomorrow, always be ready, for doing the work Jesus has in mind.
