Jesus is the reason for Christmas

The Baby in the manger

First of all, I do understand that not all people celebrate Christmas probably because they do not understand why. To some, we celebrate Christmas because it is a time for family reunions or vacations or 13th month pays.

First, it is not wrong to celebrate Christmas that way but to celebrate Christmas in a true way, one must understand Christmas itself.


Merriam-webster.com defines Christmas as "a Christian holiday that is celebrated on December 25 in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ"


"In honor of the birth of JESUS CHRIST"

Not Santa, not family reunions, not Christmas parties and Christmas presents, but the birth of Jesus Christ.

In a world where Jesus Christ is now almost forgotten, true worshipers know that Jesus Christ is the center of Christmas. Christmas begin with Christ.



WHY?

God created us human beings with a pure heart. However, one's pride become our downfall. Lucifer, heaven's lead worshiper rebelled against God and he bought along other rebels with him. Since he wanted everyone to follow, he tempted the world's first man and woman, Adam and Eve, to disobey God. In turn, they give in to temptation resulting to us becoming a slave of the world rather than God's servant. We were separated to God until God Himself provided a way, Jesus Christ.

His death gave us a connection with God, giving us eternity with Him.
But Satan is still at work, he allowed us to celebrate Christmas without Jesus.

Thru, Reunions, Parties, 13th month pay and more. But this is not wrong, just put God at the center of your Christmas celebrations. And besides, one cannot really take Christ away from Christmas.

Jesus is the reason why we have CHRISTmas.!!

Merry Christmas
