Merry Christmas

Christmas – what is it? Presents, trees, gifts, lights, food, family? Yes and no. I was reminded of what Christmas really is this morning while reading Luke chapters 1 and 2. I know I have probably read this before, but the verses really stood out. I even found the verse the song We Wish You a Merry Christmas was based on (I’m not telling the exact verse so it will be a surprise for you too). Most of the traditions and songs for Christmas have a Biblical base. When you go through the motions and sing the songs so many times it is easy to forget why we do all of these things. Christ came on Christmas and died on the cross years later for one purpose – to save us from our sins. I encourage you all to read about the birth of Christ in the Bible again and to share what He did for us with others!
