Don't Forget The Reason For The Season

 Happy boxing day everyone,

When Christmas comes, we see a lot of decorations, the Christmas tree, food, and the white-bearded man in red and touch of white bearing gifts—Santa Claus, all these are nice. But even though Christmas day has passed, we are still in the Christmas season. One thing I have come to notice is that many people have forgotten the reason for the season, in fact, some especially children of today don’t know the reason for the season which is the birth of Jesus Christ.

What many children know is Santa Claus and Christmas tree, but forget Jesus. Even though Santa bears gifts, we shouldn’t forget the reason why we give during Christmas which is because God gave us Jesus to save our lives. The devil has crept in and has started making people forget the original story behind Christmas. Santa Claus is not the reason for Christmas, Jesus is, and those who are Sons of God should not forget this. We should always make Jesus the centre of attraction and not Santa because this is what the devil wants, as he wants us to forget Jesus in everything we do.

Yes, Santa is nice as he bears gifts to kids, but the emphasis should be placed more on Jesus than on any other thing on Christmas. And not just Christmas but in everything we do, for without Him we can do nothing, without Him, we would have ceased to exist.

Santa is an imaginary fellow, but Jesus is real and alive forever. We should not be ignorant of the devices of the devil, we should always be alert, because deceit is his way of life, and God would give us the strength to keep on keeping on. AMEN.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
