Christmas

With Christmas right around the corner we are starting to see the things that go along with Christmas. We are starting to see the Christmas adds on TV again. We are seeing a lot of Santa Claus movies. A lot of people are decorating there houses with Christmas lights. This is all stuff we are used to seeing around Christmas time and it is okay. However there is a trend that seems to be getting stronger every year. The real reason for Christmas seems to be getting pushed further and further out of the picture. What is the real reason for Christmas? It is the celebration of Jesus' birthday. All of us older people all know who he is, even those that don't believe in him. But what about the current generation? People are becoming more and more Bible iliterat. That is a scary trend. WHY ARE WE CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF JESUS? Jesus is the Son of God. He came to this earth as a person. He was born, grew up like we do and lived here just like we do. The only difference is that he lived a sin-free live. Something we are uncapable of doing. Then he allowed himself to be arrested and sentenced to death on a cross. The reason he did this is because someone had to pay for the sins that we committ. Because of him being the only one perfect, he was the the only one that could pay the price for our sins. But it did not end there. Three days later he rose and after showing himself to his disciples, went to heaven to be with God the Father. What else did he do? Before he left he promised that those of us that put our Faith in him and believe in him will get to spend eternity with him. So what are we celebrating? We are celebrating the greatest gift of all. Without his birth there could be no Resurrection. Without the Resurrection we wouldn't have a guaranteed future. SPREAD THE WORD! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
