merry CHRISTmas!

And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you
good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a

Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby
wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."

[Luke 2:10-12]

this season is not about us. it's not about traditions and fancy gatherings. it's not about elaborate decorations or non-stop Christmas songs on the radio. it's not about buying, giving or receiving gifts. this is a season of celebration for the greatest gift ever.

this is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ! this was no ordinary birth of an ordinary baby. this was the Son of God. this was God in the flesh born into this world to fulfill the greatest feat imaginable. God, an all-powerful being, coming into this world as a vulnerable human in the most modest circumstances to two faithful, common people. Jesus Christ sent into this world as a Savior, to save all man from all sins, a free gift that we do not deserve. this is great news! because of Jesus' birth, because of his ministry throughout his life and ultimately because of his death on the cross, we have the opportunity to reap the rewards if we only believe in him and live to follow his commandments. through faith in Christ, we are offered life beyond this life. through Christ, God gives us life and sustains our life, it only makes sense that we live in complete gratitude and submission to Him. God is forgiving and patient with our mistakes. Jesus saves us from our sins, offers peace and joy in life and gives us more than anyone or anything could ever offer. no matter how horrible your past was, God can transform you and give your life meaning. and i think that is more than enough reason to turn to Him. i really hope that this season is filled with the joy from understanding the true reason for the season--- CHRISTmas, a celebration of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
