I hear ya. Christmas time. Shopping. Spending. Gifts. Trees. Lights. Bad memories. Stress. Santa. Commercialized. Ugh. It can be too much. Of course it’s too much. It’s a man-made holiday and humans always get it wrong. Jesus wasn’t even born on December 25th!
But this Christmas season, let me challenge you to truly celebrate Christ. Let’s celebrate this season because we know and have a relationship with the One who was born (some time), lived a perfect life, was killed (according to God’s plan) and came back to life three days later and lives today sitting at the right hand of the Father.
We celebrate this season because this Jesus loves you, intercedes for you, is aware and is concerned about you. Can you believe that? Jesus died for you and rose again just so you could have a way to be with Him forever in heaven. The Creator of the universe knows you and loves you. Call it Christmas. Call it whatever. This year let’s celebrate Jesus!
I love you, Christ Fellowship! And Merry Christmas! — Todd
