Jesus is the Reason for the Season
Luke 2:11 “ For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord”
Without Jesus Christ, this time of the year would be empty, cold and meaningless. But with Jesus it is the greatest time of the year. It is the best time for our churches to reach out to our communities with the greatest news, that a Saviour has come to give us the greatest gift we will ever receive, eternal life .
It is a wonderful time to continue traditions that have been established in our families and in our churches.
We will decorate, cook and gather together with those that we love and cherish. We will eat more than we should, we will remember stories of Christmas past and make new memories of this year’s Christmas celebrations. As we enjoy the meals, parties and events, be sure to focus on the “Christ” of Christmas.
Remember those who may be alone during this special season and include them in your activities. This could be a time you for you to share a gift you could never buy that is available to “whosoever will”. The story of Christmas that is found in John 3:16 will never change or grow old.
It is an exciting time for Melody, Amber and I to share this most wonderful time of the year with you!
