The saying "reason for the season" is almost as popular as Merry Christmas this time of the year. Okay maybe not but it is still a popular saying. We remember that we celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus Christ. It was the day that He voluntarily left the great halls in Heaven to come to a shabby and lowly earth to live among us. We remember that He was born in a little manger with nothing but animals watching. We remember that Christmas is a time of Love and Peace because Christ came to save the world that night.
But we cannot simply remember His birth, we have to also remember His death. The reason He was born was to die so that we may live. We remember baby Jesus as this cute and cuddly baby, we also have to think of His blood that would be shed for our sin. The beating and humiliation that He faced for each of us. Not only is Jesus Christ the reason for the season but the season was for a reason, He was born to die.
So as you are unwrapping presents that are under your tree, do not forget the ultimate present that Christ gave us on the tree on Calvary. He died so that we can have abundant life. So as you remember how Christ came to save the world, remember He did it for you and for me. It is our sin that caused Him to be born in a manger and it was our sin that caused Him to die on the cross. And for that I am forever thankful.
Have a great Christmas! May God Bless every single one of you!
