The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. —John 1:14
Each year it seems that Christ’s birth is acknowledged less and less during the Christmas season. An editorial in a British newspaper stated, “Christ has been detached from Christmas, and the season is now apparently just a time for being kind and ensuring that no one is lonely.”
We have a magnificent opportunity to spread the good news that Jesus is the reason for the season. Here are three perspectives on the true meaning of Christmas that we can share with others:
* Christmas is a birthday celebration, honoring Jesus. God’s Son took on human flesh and “dwelt among us” (John 1:14).
* Jesus came for our sake. He was born to die on a cross for our sins, and He was resurrected to give us forgiveness and eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
* We can urge people to respond to Jesus with faith, accepting His offer of salvation (John 1:12; 3:16).
This time of year is more than just a season to be kind. Christmas is about Jesus—the real reason for the season. So let’s take the opportunity to tell others the miraculous story of Jesus, God’s Son. And let’s pray that many, like the wise men who came to worship the promised Savior (Matthew 2:1-2), will seek Him and find Him this year.
Thank You, Lord, that no one is unqualified for the gift of Your love. Teach us
to rejoice in the fact that Your love was just right for us, and help us to share that love with others. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Today my dears I encourage you to remember that
On the first Christmas, the angels were the bearers of this joyous news. Today, God desires to work through us to take the story to others.
Lord, use me to touch the lives of others with the news of Your coming. Today my dears I encourage you to remember the meaning of Christmas and that Jesus is the reason for the season!😊❤
