CHRISTMAS, THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

CHRISTMAS

THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

The time has come again to celebrate the season of Christmas, and not the reason of Christmas

Most people will celebrate the birthday of Christ Jesus whom they have no idea of who he is. They will decorate trees, put up lights on their house, set up big parties and buy lots of presents for people that they really can’t afford.

They have no idea who Jesus really is and why this time of the year is so important. To them it is just another kid’s birthday and a time to party.

If this is the case with your Christmas let me tell you who the kid is and who his dad is. Jesus is the son of the most-high God who created the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon and millions of stars of whom he named, “each and every one”. He is the one who created you expressly for the purpose of having fellowship with you.

Now getting back to the kid’s birthday on Christmas. If you are a born-again Christian you understand about who Jesus is because he lives in your heart, but if you have not been born again you won’t understand the things I am trying to say because you will think I am just being rude.

Not at all the case, you can’t make sense of supernatural things with a natural way of thinking. This kid whose birthday we are celebrating is the only hope we have as humans to having an eternal life in heaven with our heavenly father.

Believe me when I say that Jesus is the son of God, his last name is not Christ, he is the Christ, “savior”. He is king of all kings, and our hope of glory is in him. He loved us so much he gave his life so we could keep ours.

Don’t cheapen His birthday with a bottle of booze thinking you are doing him a favor. This is serious, your relationship with Jesus really is the most important thing in your life.

Matthew 28:18   ¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Which mean Jesus has been given complete authority in heaven and on earth, this is the one that we are to celebrate this Holy season… its not the parties and gifts that are important, its our relationship with Jesus that’s important.

John 14:6   ⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

This is one of the most basic and important passages in scripture. How can we know the way to God? Jesus is the way, he is both God and man.

By uniting our lives with His, we are united with God the Father. Trust Jesus to take you to the father and all the benefits that have been made available to us at the cross. Being a child of God will open the door to all the benefits God has provided for us, his children.

So, this year when you celebrate Jesus’ birthday, have a little respect of who He is. Its ok to string your lights and gives gifts, celebrating Him. Don’t let Santa Clause take first place in your celebration, that first place belongs to the one and only king of kings and lord of Lords Jesus Christ.

Wishing you all a very blessed and Merry Christmas
