Nahum 1:7, 13, 15
7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him. 13 For now I will break off his yoke from you, and burst your bonds apart.” 15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good tidings, who proclaims peace! O Judah, keep your appointed feasts, perform your vows. For the wicked one shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off.

Though these words were spoken to Nineveh to repent and avoid destruction, the same words were used in Romans 10 to those sent to tell the good news of what Jesus did to break the bonds of sin and death that hold us all until we hear, turn, and believe Him. He was God as a man, taking our just sentence of death and freeing those who believe and so receive Him to be made new. Peace with God. That is why we remember Him not only at Christmas, but every day.
