We Are The Reason For The Season

As we look around us this time of year, we are more than likely going to run into some bumper stickers, T-shirts or signs that say "Jesus is the Reason for the Season". While this goes a long way to keep us focused on the true meaning of Christmas, something is missing. Let's go a little deeper in thought.



At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In order for Him to Die as a man, He first had to Born as one. So basically, His birth is the beginning of His plan to bring us salvation. If Christmas is a celebration of this time, the true reason for Christmas must be the same as the reason that He came - US.


While we celebrate the birth of our Lord this year, I ask that you take time to think about all that Christ gave up and took upon Himself as HE came to to save US.



Have a great Christmas.
