Christmas Commotion

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year. Unfortunately some of us have lost sight to what Christmas is all about. Instead we fill our heads with the crazy notion that we must somehow come up with the money to afford a nice Christmas for ourselves and our family. Christmas is not about how many presents end up under our tree on that wonderful Christmas day. Its about the gift of salvation that was brought to this lost and dying world. You see God sent his one and only son Jesus Christ to the earth, not as a powerful king but in the form of a baby. Jesus was fully God and fully man. So yes he was born to a virgin who raised him as her own with the help of her new husband. The baby Jesus eventually grew up and became a man who preformed many miracles here on earth. He eventually died on the cross to take the payment for our sin (the bad things that separate us from God) so that we would have the opportunity to spend eternity with God in heaven instead of hell. The Christmas season in my opinion is a season of repentance and of renewal. If you are caught up in the material Christmas escape now while you still have time.
