In this joyful season, I want to take a moment to wish a happy birthday to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! Even though we’re not exactly sure if December 25th is the exact day He was born, it’s a time we set aside to honor and say thank you for the amazing gift of Jesus in our lives. This post is an invitation to think more about why we celebrate and to feel happy about Jesus not just on this day but every day of the year.
As we read the important words in Isaiah 9:6-7, we learn a lot about why Christmas is so special: “A child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” These words show us how amazing Jesus is and that He is not just a person from a long time ago; He is God’s love and the fulfillment of a special message from God.
Some people choose not to celebrate Christmas for different reasons, like skepticism, their belief pagan origins, or having other worries. Even though these concerns are valid, what we want to think about is how much God loves us and how he gave us the special gift of Jesus for our salvation.
Even if we’re not exactly sure about the date of Christmas, what we know for sure is that God loves us a lot. He gave us His very special Son to bring us close to Him. So, Christmas is a time for us to say thank you and honor the One who scarified it all to save us.
While we’re having fun with family and friends during Christmas, let’s not forget why we’re celebrating—Jesus Christ. It’s a time to enjoy being with people we care about, spread happiness, and think about how Jesus’ love can change our lives every day, not just on a special date.
So, as you enjoy Christmas, let it be a time of saying real thanks, being happy, and thinking about how much Jesus matters in your life. Even with different opinions, let’s agree that He is the reason for the season. Have a great time celebrating, be blessed, and let Jesus’ love fill your hearts!
Merry CHRISTmas!
