It has been said many times over “Jesus is the reason for the season”. This is an important statement of faith amidst the many secular greetings we hear at this time of year. Without Jesus there would be no Christmas to speak of. But, when I think about it, I realize that “we are the reason for the season”. God recognized us walking in darkness and selfishness and so he sent His Son to show us the way back to Him. Christmas then, is all about allowing Christ to redeem us in our daily lives.
My prayer for all of us this Christmas is that we be open to the Redeeming presence of Jesus working in us every day of the new year.
May you and your family enjoy all the blessings of the Christmas season.
