THE TRUTH ABOUT CHRISTMAS

Why do you celebrate Christmas?

Is it for the gifts? santa? Do you know the real reason for the season?

Christmas is an annual event that occurs every 25th of every December. December 25th is one of the days the followers of Christ chose to celebrate the birth of Christ. There are other days that different denominations of Christians decided to celebrate his birth, but the majority celebrate on the 25th.

Through time it feels like many people who celebrate Christmas do not know why that day exists.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
ISAIAH 9:6 NIV

Christmas is a day of celebration. The day Christ was born was the beginning of God's promise to his children manifested. God promised us grace, and the birth of Christ was the start of the grace that has continued through time.

When you are celebrating, you celebrate with the people that understand what you are celebrating, you celebrate with friends or family because Christmas is about Christ Jesus, and celebrating with the body of Christ is celebrating with family.

Exchanging gifts on Christmas is amazing we show each other that we love and appreciate each other, but we must never forget the reason we gathered in the first place.

The question I asked this year was, why is the meaning of Christmas being warped? why is it ok for whoever to believe what they believe and have their faith respected, but Christians constantly have to defend themselves? why do we have to compromise Christmas? If you don't believe in CHRIST, why are you celebrating CHRISTmas?

Christmas is not about Santa. santa was derived from a saint who people adored for his kindness. It sincerely has nothing to do with Christmas. It's a great idea, to hold someone who did things for his community in high regard, but not higher than Jesus.

Giving gifts and having a good day on Christmas is amazing, that's what we should do but we must remember why we are celebrating that day.

As Christians, it is our duty to tell people about Christ. This new generation may not have an idea of what being a Christian truly is, and why we celebrate what we celebrate.

We should not let the ways of the world consume Christ, we must always remind ourselves and people around us who we are in Christ.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊

May the promises of God we have held on to, be established in our lives. In Jesus name, Amen
