It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season and forget why we are truly
celebrating. It’s not about the Christmas cards and family pictures, it’s not about the
parties and formals, it’s not about the gifts and toys, and it especially is
not about Santa Claus.
The
world would want us to believe all of these things are Christmas in order to keep our eyes
off of the one true Christmas Gift—Jesus Christ! He came to be born for one
purpose…to die for our sins. The star above His baby’s head is overshadowed by
the cross that looms in His future. A cross He willingly placed Himself on for
us, so that we could be forgiven and have a future with Him in heaven.
Yes, enjoy
your family and friends, the parties and gifts, but please don’t forget why we
celebrate this season and remember that He died for each and every one of us…so
think about giving back to someone in need just as He gave Himself for you.
Have a wonderful Christmas
and a bright and happy 2018…
