the real reason for this season

did you feel the Christmas atmosphere around you this year?

how do YOU define christmas?

stockings? santa claus?

christmas trees? reindeer?

presents? lights? mistletoe?

one day, the candy cane will lose its appeal.

christmas carols will sound repetitive.

the lights on the tree will fade and not be burning bright.

presents are just a formality we practice on the 25th.

since when was Christmas about this anyway?

it commemorates the birth of our Savior and Lord

Jesus Christ.

the day when Hope was born on earth.

Not just wishful hoping or brave hope.

But literally the Hope, the Solution

the Answer to mankind's cry for a true Christmas was born.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Take Him out of it, and you probably just have another festive holiday

where you decorate your house

and find an excuse to go out to have a good eating with friends and family.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Bring Him into it and it brings meaning to life.

It holds hope for those who have lost hope.

It lights up our perspective to see that there is more to life than a celebration.

Life is about knowing why on earth we were placed here in the first place.

Life is about finding out the significance of Christmas.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Is He the reason for YOUR season in your life right now?
