Most everyone enjoys celebrating Christmas, even if they aren't what you might call "religious". Maybe they like to shop and give gifts or simply enjoy gatherings, and that's all nice, but, without making the connection between Christmas and Jesus, these celebrations come up short.
You see, gatherings can take place and be fun, without a thought of Jesus, but Jesus is THE reason we celebrate. We celebrate God taking on human form in the person of Jesus. Our joy comes from knowing that our Creator loves us so much, that he did not leave us to ourselves, but sent us a Savior to show us the way.
Celebrate Jesus today and remember, our Merry Christmas is because of him. If you struggle believing, ask questions and never give up. Let your doubt fuel your motivation so that next year, your MERRY CHRISTMAS will take on its full meaning.
Merry Christmas!
