When it comes to Christmas, traditions are great. The memories are forever. The presents, lights, trees, family, movies, food, wrapping paper and the boxes.
Year after year, it becomes fun and familiar and all about me. We have wish lists a couple of pages long. Santa Clause is not real, but we might go see him at the store to tell what we want, just in case.
With all the anticipation and parties and hours finding the right size box to wrap the gift in, we have to realize that is not the true meaning of Christmas.
Jesus is the reason for the season. Christmas did not come in a box; it came in a manger. Come let us adore Him. He is to be worshipped because He is "God with us."
This year let's not put Jesus in a box. We should not limit the gift of God by hiding Him in the decorations and presents.
He was born to die on the cross and who ever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life and that spent with God.
Check out Galatians 4:4,5 and John 3:16-18 in the bible.
Have a Merry Christmas season and receive the gift that God gave! live in his Presence!
