"A Christmas Sermon" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a reflective essay from the late 19th century that thoughtfully examines life, morality, and the true meaning of Christmas. It encourages readers to deeply consider their own lives and the human condition during the holiday. Stevenson explores that true morality lies in embracing goodness and kindness, not just avoiding bad things. He contrasts kindness and joy with harsh judgment and contemplates the passage of time, suggesting a life of sincerity and kindness is valuable, even with its flaws. The core message is that Christmas is about happiness, connection, and recognizing our shared humanity.
